feat: Is it possible to have nice selection menu (like the one summoned by :OverseerRun) for args ?

[lmichaudel]

When you call OverseerRun you are greeted with a telescope selection menu, from which you can choose your action of choice.
Is it possible to have the same menu in order the select a template parameters ?
For my CMake template, I have a parameter to choice build type :

build_type = {
            type = "enum",
            name = "Build type",
            order = 2,
            optional = false,
            default = "release",
            choices = { "debug", "coverage", "release" }
        },

Could this be displayed with the telescope prompt ?

Because of how the form input works (multiple fields at a time), it's not possible to have a telescope prompt for the build type param. However, if you use nvim-cmp the possible values should autocomplete for you when you edit that field

Hi @stevearc , I know this likely is not an overseer issue. I recently switched from nvim-cmp to blink.cmp, and the autocompletion for the enum type parameter is no longer working. Could you shed some light on how this works under the hood? Like if I understand how nvim-cmp works to provide the enum choices, I can perhaps make blink.cmp to work in the same way.

[stevearc]

We explicitly register a completion source for nvim-cmp in the input form that only triggers for enum fields.

overseer.nvim/lua/overseer/form/utils.lua

Lines 326 to 341 in 07970a8

	vim.bo[bufnr].omnifunc = "v:lua.overseer_form_omnifunc"
	-- Configure nvim-cmp if installed
	local has_cmp, cmp = pcall(require, "cmp")
	if has_cmp then
	if not registered_cmp then
	require("cmp").register_source("overseer", require("cmp_overseer").new())
	registered_cmp = true
	end
	cmp.setup.buffer({
	enabled = true,
	sources = {
	{ name = "overseer" },
	{ name = "path" },
	},
	})
	end

The same could probably be done for blink. Note that we do also register an omnifunc, so you can always access the enum values by triggering omnicompletion (<C-x><C-o>).
