vscode-python: Function documentation does not show with python.autoComplete.addBrackets and IntelliSense
Hello! 👋
There’s a slight problem with python.autoComplete.addBrackets. I couldn’t find a ticket for this, so I decided to write my own. I’m not sure whether this issue belongs here, or whether this problem has something to do with VSCode.
Environment data
- VS Code version: 1.23.1
- Extension version: 2018.4.0
- OS and version: macOS Sierra 10.12.6
- Python version: Python 3.6.5
- Type of virtual environment used: N/A
Actual behavior
When the configuration option python.autoComplete.addBrackets is set to true, you do not get automatic VSCode hinting when your cursor enters the brackets.
Expected behavior
Auto-hinting should kick off just the same when utilizing automatic bracket insertion. There is no real reason for it behaving the way that it does right now. Below is a picture of how the auto-hinting engine kicks off when you enter brackets manually.
Steps to reproduce:
- Set
python.autoComplete.addBracketstotrue. - Open up a Python file, and make sure that your Python environment is working correctly.
- Type a function name and hit
TABorEnterto auto-complete it. - Brackets are inserted, but no auto-hinting.

Really annoying bug but I just found a “workaround” that for me at least makes the auto bracket feature useful again. If you insert a comma between the brackets you will trigger the documentation popup and then it works as usual again.
+1 I’d better subscribe for the thread, as this bug bothers me 😃
@prasiyer not at the moment. If you feel up for trying to diagnose the issue and come up with a PR we will happily take a look at it.
