I am trying to get the auto completion working for a custom module bpy used in blender

Actual behavior

Not able to get auto completion working;

I edited settings as mentioned in this article

As you can see in the image; I was able to get auto completion for bpy. but not after bpy.context.
You can see the auto completion for context in a blender shell for the bpy module.

Expected behavior

Provide autocomplete

Steps to reproduce:

• Download blender.
• Setup workspace settings as shown in the image.
• Try importing bpy and setup autocomplete.

Hey guys!
Intellisense is working fine for the custom modules I have written but not with the ones provided by blender. I am trying to get down and debug this one. Should I look into anything specific ? Is there anything the module should or shouldn't do to get the intellisense working ?

Hi @cg-cnu, I haven't looked into this yet. Will check this out. At this stage no, pointers.
FYI - I'm using Jedi to provide intellisense within the extension.
It would be easier to test the library with custom paths. if it works there, then its most certainly a bug in the extension.

@DonJayamanne So, I got some help from the blender community. Found this fake bpy module and pointing the autocomplete.extrapaths to it gave a dummy auto completion. So, I assume the issue is with the module not the addon. Let me know if I can give any more details 😄

Closing as this isn't an issue with the extension.
