No intellisense/autocomplete when using in neovim

[bartecargo]

This is probably a basic/newb question since I'm new to neovim.

I have the LSP up and running, and PSScriptAnalyzer is working, with suggestions appearing in the code. However, I'm not seeing any form of autocomplete. Do I need to configure something to enable autocomplete? I'm editing single .ps1 files rather than modules.

I'm using powershell.exe.

Feel free to let me know if you have any tips for diagnosing the problem myself. The logs aren't overly verbose in the default configuration.

Edit to add details:

I managed to grab the command-line being used via procmon, and set up my nvim-cmp config as:

require'lspconfig'.powershell_es.setup {
  bundle_path = '~/Downloads/PowerShellEditorServices',
  cmd = { 'powershell.exe', '-NoLogo', '-NoProfile', '-Command', "~/Downloads/PowerShellEditorServices/PowerShellEditorServices/Start-EditorServices.ps1 -BundledModulesPath ~/Downloads/PowerShellEditorServices -LogPath D:/Temp/nvim/powershell_es.log -SessionDetailsPath D:/Temp/nvim/powershell_es.session.json -FeatureFlags @() -AdditionalModules @() -HostName nvim -HostProfileId 0 -HostVersion 1.0.0 -Stdio -LogLevel Verbose" }
}

I now get verbose logs, but there are no errors. It's like nothing's actually broken, but intellisense isn't configured to start?

I can't speak for neovim specifically but there is LSP support for autocomplete and intellisense. Maybe open an issue in their repo?

@JustinGrote I'll try that, thanks.

Check out coc-powershell. It uses PSES, works great.

Closing as known working alternative has been provided. Thanks @SeeminglyScience
