Completion breaks with company-yasnippet about alchemist.el HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey @edubkendo, have you tried grouping the backends?

Something like:

(add-to-list 'company-backends '(company-alchemist company-yasnippet))

Referencing #66 -- maybe this will help.

from alchemist.el.

Ah so it looks like what I'm seeing is the result of how company works to some extent, and the fact that these two modes aren't returning nil when they don't have a result. At least that's what I gather from reading #66 .

from alchemist.el.

Yup, but you should be able to group the backends, which is what I was going for in the code snippet above. It's not a general solution to #66, but I think it'll work for you since you want to merge the results from 2 backends.

From the doc for the company-backends variable:

The completions from back-ends in a group are merged (but only from those that return the same `prefix').

One potential issue is that company-alchemist and company-yasnippet use different functions to get the prefix, so they might not return the same prefix. But, I think that as long as the cursor is at the end of a "word" you should be fine.

Sorry, haven't had a chance to test this!

unfortunately, when I try that, I only see yasnippet results, alchemists stop working.

whoops sorry, take that back. it works great the snippet just needs a tweak:

(add-to-list 'company-backends '(alchemist-company company-yasnippet))

from alchemist.el.

Ah, my bad -- good to hear it works!
