How to enable path completion for relative filename?

[RocketMaDev]

For example, there is a assets directory in current working directory and there are some images in it. Assume that I've typed assets and I expect to get a list of files in assets when pressing /. How to configure that?

I double that request.

I figured I should use this recipe to have autocompletion relative to project dir.

But after that relative completion only works if I start the path with ./, i.e. "./assets"
Unfortunately go:embed does not accept . or .. in paths, so I cannot use those autocompleted strings

sources.providers.path.opts.ignore_root_slash = true

You may be looking for #966 in that case (would require manual triggering), but ideally the LSP would provide path completions in this case

[doctorstal]

You are right, that one probably has the same cause.

It's pretty common for path completions to allow relative paths like that.
If I'm not mistaken It worked like that in VSCode, IntelliJ and coc.nvim file source.
It would be really nice to have that completion format too.

If that helps, I was trying to debug it and I think the problem is that regex in dirname does not match string like path = " as possible path, so no matter what I do with configuration, the completion would not trigger.

[Saghen]

That may trigger the path source in cases you wouldn't want it unfortunately. Those engines may be special casing this, but I can't be sure without reading their source

[doctorstal]

I see no problem having path source for all strings, like I have no problems with buffer showing me the words from opened buffers.
In case of path it's going to be even better - it only triggers for files that are already in the cwd.

At the very least typing "assets/ should trigger the path completion if assets folder is present in cwd, don't you agree?

@Saghen any progress on this topic? What about @doctorstal 's idea?

I'm tired of pressing Ctrl-X Ctrl-F
