I have tried to use EiffelStudio for a small Eiffel project and I have realized that its autocompletion feature (press the . and then a feature list will appear) does not work for local entities the type of which come from the Eiffel library.
For example:
- a local set : ARRAYED_SET[STRING] wont be autocompleted when writing "set.".
- when using the construct if attached item(some_key) as localitems, "localitems." won't be autocompleted
I use Eiffel Studio 14.05 (x86/64) on Linux Mint. I downloaded ES from the official site. How can I tweak the software to autocomplete local entities, too?
I've just tried auto-completion with EiffelStudio 14.05 and it works for both local entities and object test locals (I used a precompiled library in a project created from scratch). It definitely does not work if a project or a particular class was not compiled. If this is not the case, it makes sense either to provide some more details about the situation that causes the issue or to submit a bug report at their support site with the description.
EDIT: The issue seems to be present in EiffelStudio 14.05 when editing generic classes.
