No completion in workspaces

[sjrmanning]

Hey,

First of all I really appreciate the work you're doing on this. Would love to be able to use Emacs for all my Swift dev :)

Just had a quick question about compatibility inside workspaces. The autocompletion works for me inside simple projects but as soon as I'm in a project relying on a workspace I get no completion at all, even for built-in types. Just wondering if that's normal or is my configuration broken somewhere?

Cheers!

Heya @sjrmanning thanks for the kind words! The answer is that there isn't any official support for workspaces, so it's probably not your configuration :)

I have had reports that using sourcekitten directly works with workspaces with minimal configuration / flag passing - although I'm doubtful, I haven't investigated this any further.

If you're up for it, adding support would involve patching this file in sourcekittendaemon in order to pass the appropriate flags to sourcekitten for workspaces completion!

I have the same issue, sourcekit-verbose is enabled, but it does not show any error message:

[sourcekit] trying daemon on port: 8081
[sourcekit] making request to http://localhost:8081/complete
[sourcekit] with headers (("X-Offset" . "760") ("X-Path" . "/var/folders/p_/0_0tjh057r3d38tl4s27wc8w0000gn/T/sourcekitten67944HTB"))

I commented out preprocessor flags and -c argument (2 lines) and now I got completion in workspace projects to.
