The autocomplete with #include doesn't work :/

[FrancescoDiMuro]

Hi guys! I've reinstalled the AutoIt Editor and so on, and when I tried to create a new program, I've always started with #include <...>, but I've noticed that the autocomplete ( the scrollbar that helps you completing the library ), it's not working :/ Can you help me out please? Thanks  

[water]

IIRC autocomplete only works for AutoIt keywords, functions and user defined variables.
I have never seen it work on libraries (just tested).
Are you sure it worked for you before?

[water]

BTW: AutoIt related editor functions only work after you have saved the file as au3.

[FrancescoDiMuro]

I swear it worked... I don't know how I can show it to you now, but I swear that it worked... The autocomplete was something like: #in => #include, #include-once... Then, when I type <, it gave me all the libraries installed... MsgBoxConstants.au3, AutoItConstants.au3... I swear! 

[water]

If you saved the file as e.g. test.au3 does it work then?

[FrancescoDiMuro]

No, it doesn't work :/ I just saved as test ( .au3 ), and if I try to write #include <, the list shows itself, but it's empty!

[water]

Maybe Jos chimes in and sheds some light onto this subject

[Jos]

Autocomplete should work since the last release and should work when the selected lexer is AU3.

Do you have a file called: includes.txt  in %Scite_UserHome%  ?

Jos, that honor  I just look for this file, and I didn't find anything... :/ Thanks for all your answers guys

[Jos]

Could you try downloading the current version of that file from the Beta directory and copy it into the indicated directory?
Just looked at the NSIS Installer source and see I never added the file so makes sense it doesn't work with a clean install.

Now it works like a champ Great work Jos! Thank you! And thank you water too  

[Jos]

The includes.txt should have been created by installer as that runs at the very end this commandline:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\AutoIt3.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTEConfig\SciTEConfig.au3" /Installer

Sciteconfig reads the Registry entries for the standard and userdefined Include directories and then generate the file includes.txt.

Did you use the installer and did it actually shell that command? ( can be checked in install.log in the SciTE program directory).

I used this installer: https://www.autoitscript.com/cgi-bin/getfile.pl?autoit3/autoit-v3-setup.exe, and in the path ( for me ) C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE ( is this, right? ), there's no install log. Just a .txt file named install.txt. 

[Jos]

What is the content of Install.txt?

[Jos]

So that's the install.log file.  you are sure it's extension is .txt for you?

There is no includes.txt in directory:  C:\Users\Portatile-60\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3\SciTE ?

Jos

 

[FrancescoDiMuro]

Sorry! The install file has the .log extension! I read wrong! By the way, there is includes.txt in that folder ( now I'm sure )  

[Jos]

Ok, was that put in there by you manually or by the installer and isn't that you own user directory? ( in other words: was the installer ran under different credentials?)

Jos

[FrancescoDiMuro]

That's my user directory, and I didn't put anything manually... I didn't change nothing during the setup... I launched the installer, and anything else...  

[Jos]

Now I am lost ...  thought it wasn't working and you downloaded the file includes.txt from the beta directory?
