4666 :: Nim VS Code autocompletion

• Santanu (orginal) [2019-02-19T16:36:50+01:00] view original

  Hi, Completely new to nim. I install nim on my arch Linux machine using "" sudo pacman -S nim", works fine, install the nim package in vs code, still works like gem; gives useful snippet of info for each proc. But the version of nim in the repository is 0.18.0, so couldn't install any third party library like jester. Uninstall it, download the binaries for the latest version from the official website also nimble. Installed it with the direction given, added path to .bachrc. Works fine, But no code completion now in vs code. I think the path to nimsuggest in not added. Tried to add the dir of nimsuggest inside nim-0.19.4 to path. Does not work. Plz Help!

  I think I had a similar problem with .bashrc and VS Code, which I solved by removing that from .bashrc and adding a new file nim.sh to /etc/profile.d with this content:

  
  PATH=/home/miran/.nimble/bin:$PATH
  export PATH
  Run

  (don't forget to change the path to be correct for you)

  So i have to add both the path of nim-0.19.4/bin and .nimble/bin in two separate files namely nim.sh and nimble.sh ??

  Added both file to etc/profile.d and also used source to load them. But after restarting the the terminal it does not work.

  reboot. /etc/profile.d/ is sourced after boot. or better add the path manipulations to ~/.profile. its sourced on login.

  No, you can have it in one file — I've edited my message above to show this.

  Thanks guys for your help, solved the problem. Apparently while installing the compiler manually something must have gone wrong with koch tools. Although nim was added to the path, but nimble and nimsuggest was not. Did a fresh install using chooseNim and now works fine.
