Code Completion in Virtual Machine

Post by Netzschleicher »

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with CodeLite 13 working in a Virtual Machine. When i open a Project, the Workspace was parsing, but Code Completion doesn't work. The Projectfolder is a shared Folder from my Host Machine. If i copy the Project to a local Folder in the Virtual Machine, Code Completion works very fine.

Is this a similar issue as in?:

Code: Select all

Host Machine: Debian Buster 64Bit

Virtual Machine: Virtualbox 5.2.30 with Debian Buster 64Bit

Is there any Workaround or Solution?

CodeLite 12 worked fine in my last Virtual Machine.

Thanxs to all.

The default CodeLite completion engine does not work with shared folders (sqlite limitation)
You can enable the Language Server to make it work (this is how I work)

Thank you very much. I configure the Language Server and now ist works fine.

One thing, that was not really important, that i missed is how to get the Textcoloring like the 'standard' Code Completion?
