Ark LSP in .qmd documents in positron

[MichelNivard]

Description

It seems line in .qmd documents in positron the autocomplete features (which I think are part of Ark?) aren't available in r chunks in .qmd documents? They are in notebooks and .r documents obviously.

Sorry. I don't understand what you are saying or asking here or the exact context.

.qmd support is Positron is brought up by Quarto VSCODE extension that lives in https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto

Do you have it installed ? it does not come installed by default in Positron.

I am saying there seems to be some kind of clash between the Quarto VSCODE extensions (i.e. the help pane etc) , and the LSP build into positron such that when I am in quarto chunks and in visual model the code auto complete suggestions provided by positron don't always work, and tab results in what I perceive as unintended behaviour. The entire line is indented when I tab which the cursor between the quotes in read.csv2(file=""), which I'd expect to suggest files in the corrent folder (what the behaviour in source mode and in .r documents)

Thank you for the clarification of the issue and the screenshots.
Very helpful!

Further input: in RStudio, when editing a .qmd in visual mode hitting the tab does work as I's expect (it suggest contextual info, when i am between quotes it'll suggest local file paths)

[MichelNivard]

To me the tab behaviour in source and visual mode seems inconsistent, but I guess to an extend (certainly outside the code blocks) the tab having word processor like behaviour makes a lot of sense?

I believe you may be running into a couple of these issues:

• Quarto: Autocomplete works differently in quarto chunk vs Positron editor/console posit-dev/positron#1572
• Language features (R and Python) do not work in Quarto visual editor posit-dev/positron#1805

If you have additional context to add to those issues @MichelNivard we would welcome that!

Hi @juliasilge i think you are right, i had searched but didn’t find a prior issue. I’ll close this issue and see if I have any specific experience not covered in the other two issues.
