No suggestions from autoimport

[WhyNotHugo]

I can't get autoimport to work. I've followed the instructions in the documentation and a added rope_autoimport in the relevant section of my LSP's configuration:

   pylsp = {
     cmd = vim.lsp.rpc.connect("127.0.0.1", 9977),
     settings = {
       pylsp = {
         plugins = {
           -- These functionalities are handled by ruff:
           pyflakes = { enabled = false },
           pycodestyle = { enabled = false },
           -- I use black for formatting:
           yapf = { enabled = false },
           autopep8 = { enabled = false },
           black = { enabled = true }, -- NOTE: Requires `py3-lsp-black`.
           -- Others:
           mypy = { enabled = true },
+          rope_autoimport = { enabled = true },
         },
       },
     },
   },

I'm opening a file in a project with the following content:

from todoman import version  # type: ignore[attr-defined]

__version__ = version.version
__documentation__ = "https://todoman.rtfd.org/en/latest/"

After putting the mouse cursor over Decimal (note that its import is missing), I request any available actions from the LSP. Neovim reports that no actions are available (I don't see any additional logs while this happens, which is odd).

Any hints as to what might be wrong? I'm not sure what other information can be of use here.

I am on Ubuntu 22.04, using Mason to manage the venv (I installed rope with :PylspInstall rope, to bring it into the same venv)

[lieryan]

I think this ticket is confounding a number of things. The autoimport mechanism as currently implemented in pylsp is triggered by doing code completion, not by code action. When you finish autocompleting a symbol that wasn't in the current scope, pylsp would insert the import statement at the top of the file. rope does support adding import statement for unrecognized symbol under the cursor, but AFAIK this is not yet implemented in either pylsp's builtin rope support nor in pylsp-rope.

Also, if you're using Neovim's builtin LSP client, please try again using a different LSP client. Neovim's builtin LSP is currently unusably broken when it comes to handling CodeAction. Neovim's builtin LSP sometimes just randomly and inexplicably didn't pass in the line numbers that the user has selected to the language server. If you're interested in getting this fixed, please reach out to Neovim's authors to fix their builtin LSP's CodeAction handling. Or use any of the other supported LSP clients. vim-lsp, coc, and ALE all works perfectly with pylsp and pylsp-rope on neovim.

The autoimport mechanism as currently implemented in pylsp is triggered by doing code completion, not by code action.When you finish autocompleting a symbol that wasn't in the current scope, pylsp would insert the import statement at the top of the file.

This doesn't fully make sense to me. In order to get autoimport to import a symbol, I need to select that symbol from the autocompletion list. However, the autocompletion only suggests symbols which are already imported.

So in order to get an autocompletion, I need to first import the symbol, but to import the symbol, I need to pick it from the autocompletion list.

Doesn't this mean that the feature is impossible to use?

rope does support adding import statement for unrecognized symbol under the cursor, but AFAIK this is not yet implemented in either pylsp's builtin rope support nor in pylsp-rope.

I think this is the feature that I'm really looking for. Would it be best for this to be implemented in pylsp's builtin rope support or in pylsp-rope?

Also, if you're using Neovim's builtin LSP client, please try again using a different LSP client. Neovim's builtin LSP is currently unusably broken when it comes to handling CodeAction.

Didn't you just say that autoimport doesn't operate via code-actions? How would using a different LSP client change the result here?

[lieryan]

@WhyNotHugo Hi, sorry for the late reply, I was in the shower thinking about other things when I suddenly remembered that I never responded to your question here.

Basically, the way this works is that if you want to use rope_autoimport, you need to change the pylsp completion provider to rope. IOW, you need set pylsp.plugins.rope_completion.enabled = true, pylsp.plugins.rope_autoimport.enabled = true, and pylsp.plugins.jedi_completion.enabled = false. When autoimport is enabled, the completion behavior changes to allow completing from every global names in your python path (i.e. from everything in standard library and virtualenv) and any name visible in the projects. This is how autocomplete looks like when rope_autoimport is enabled (in Vim using vim-lsp):

When you accept the completion, for example, by typing ( or ., then autoimport will insert the import line at the top of the file, after all the existing imports.

You'd normally want to run rope organise import (this is available in pylsp-rope as codeaction) and/or isort after that.

Also, if you're using Neovim's builtin LSP client, please try again using a different LSP client. Neovim's builtin LSP is currently unusably broken when it comes to handling CodeAction.

Didn't you just say that autoimport doesn't operate via code-actions? How would using a different LSP client change the result here?

Ah, sorry for the confusion, that wasn't about the autoimport feature itself as currently implemented. I was responding to because you and @magnuslarsen trying to use LSP code action. python-lsp-server have plugin hooks that allows external plugins like pylsp-rope to implement code actions but AFAIK none of its built-in plugins actually implements any code actions.

Implementing autoimport into pylsp-rope is definitely on the list of what I want to have too, it just wasn't clear how actions like this is best implemented in terms of what LSP standard provides. In the trivial case, when there's only one unambiguous choice autoimport as code action is just inserting a single line to the file, which is fine, but in more complex case, there could be multiple aliases with the same name to import from (e.g. if you try to autoimport loads, from the standard library itself there are at least 2 versions of it from json.loads and marshall.loads, and there may be half a dozen more if you have other popular third party libraries installed.

Ideally, there would be an additional interactive menu that pops up after selecting the code action to request for additional prompts for the user to pass in additional choices/arguments to the actions, but the code action protocol doesn't seem to make it obvious how or whether something like that is even possible.

@WhyNotHugo not sure this actually addresses your issue, but I found there was a bug that we don't set LSP preferences when the server realizes an initialize message. My #459 changes that.

Happy to also address your configuration file use case if you tell me what exactly you wanted to to.

[tkrabel]

Update: I added a way to get autoimport suggestions as part of code actions #471
@WhyNotHugo does this address your issue?

[Shane-XB-Qian]

#459 should be not released yet, but i tried to set it via ws config.
and i try and verify a bit, TBH to me i felt a bit bad experience and perf,
maybe 'rope' is not a right approach, how about thinking to persuade 'ruff'? 😄

[bagel897]

Just a note, when I wrote pylsp autoimport, I tested it against jedi-completion only. I never ran it with rope-completion, though they are from the same project. In fact, pylsp-autoimport shares components from Jedi (it uses parsers from there). These components are likely causing issues as they are AST parsers I wrote myself.
The plugin uses 3 AST components that could break:

1. _should_insert in the pylsp plugin, using parso. This is the most fragile
2. There's another one that calls Jedi
3. The core importer logic in rope (though this could be swapped for just importing modules, perhaps as a configuration option)

Note: this may not reflect the current status, just the initial development from a year ago.

#459 should be not released yet, but i tried to set it via ws config. and i try and verify a bit, TBH to me i felt a bit bad experience and perf, maybe 'rope' is not a right approach, how about thinking to persuade 'ruff'? 😄

Well, I was diving a bit into the python rope code base and found a quick improvement that should speed up the autoimporting process by ~2x (python-rope/rope#722)

There could be two performance bottlenecks:

Parsing/Discovery:

The vast majority of this time (when I profiled it) was AST parsing. The above solution will fix a discovery bug but it can't surpass this limitation. The options to meaningfully improve indexing time are limited:

• Switch ASTs to something else. The code should use stdlib ast, not rope's patched AST. Not sure if any other one is better. Maybe the Rust AST?
• Use the import-based parser instead of the AST parser - this will have severe security issues but is very easy to implement
• Use multithreading instead of multi processing. This won't work due to the GIL

Completion

This does 3 things

• Parse the file to determine if it should insert at the current spot
• Get the current word under the cursor
• Query the sqllite db
• Sort all the statements

We have a lot of room to improve here, especially on the first two. I'd look into the Jedi Environments or using async or something. The sqlite db can also implement a lot of the sorting/indexing/deduplicating - I just didn't know that when I wrote the original queries

I just want to report back (a little late...), with the newest version of pylsp autoimport works, even using jedi_completion - thanks all!
