omnicompletion stops working

[serici]

Hi,

I'm using

• linux
• vim 8.2
• hledger 1.22.2

omnicompletion was working until now. When i hit tab key, omnicompletion search for a while a returns a pattern not found
What should i check to find the source cause of my issue ?

my vimrc configuration is below

" ----------------------------------------------------------
" settings for vim-ledger plugin


" General settings
let g:ledger_bin = 'hledger'
let g:ledger_accounts_cmd = '-f % accounts'
let g:ledger_default_commodity = '€'
let g:ledger_commodity_before = 1


" String that will be used to fill the space between
" account name and amount in the foldtext. 
" Set this to get some kind of lines or visual aid.
let g:ledger_fillstring = '    -'

" option applied to ledger when syntax check
nnoremap <leader>hc :!hledger -f % check -s

" alignement sur la décimale

let g:ledger_decimal_sep = ','
let g:ledger_align_at = 70
au FileType ledger inoremap <silent> <Tab> <C-r>=ledger#autocomplete_and_align()<CR>
au FileType ledger vnoremap <silent> <Tab> :LedgerAlign<CR>

i tried to execute hledger -f % accounts and it worked

"until now"

What changed? This plugin hasn't been changed much recently. Did you upgrade Vim? Hledger? Something else? Your other plugins?

[serici]

sure, I've upgraded my distro, not sure it is related and i haven't paid attention on what has been updated (list was too long). (haskell for sure) but don't know about vim and ledger.

is there a log or something i can check to figure out where the problem is ?

[serici]

hi,

i'm doing my homework !

• vim works → ok
• hledger works → ok
• only one plugin in vim → vim-ledger
• plugin is up to date (git pull today)
• filetype is detected (:set returns the good filetype)
• omnicomplete command is launched (echo msg in LedgerComplete is visible)

don't know where to look further :( . My bet is that the cash of accounts is badly loaded) but the command hledger -f % accounts works

any help would be appreciated

I've run into this as well. omnicompletion stopped working in the middle of a session. I didn't change my system configuration at all. All I did was add entries to my ledger.

I checked out the previous version of the ledger (from before I started adding entries) and completion works fine.

Went back to current version and completion doesn't work -- I get the Pattern not found message.

@atsaloli It looks like you introduced something in your ledger that is causing the CLI to output some error message instead or or in addition to the payee and accounts lists. Check the output of the respective commands to see if you are getting a clean list to complete from. I suspect you have an unbalanced transaction or something like that getting in your way.

[atsaloli]

Yes!! That was it. I was just coming back to post that. Thank you. =)

If I introduce an unbalanced transaction and then save the file and re-open it, omni completion stops working. (It still works until I save my changes.)

Good to have omni completion back, it's very useful. And thank you for your help!

[atsaloli]

And when I fix the unbalanced transaction and save my changes and re-open the file, omni completion works again. 👍

[atsaloli]

It would be nice if omni completion could pass that error through to facilitate troubleshooting? :)

[alerque]

Feel free to open a new issue about that, it would be nice to surface a more useful error. I've run into it too.

Your issue however was completely unrelated to this one, the OP stated:

the command hledger -f % accounts works

Which means his deal was something else...
