Incompatibility with nvim-cmp snippet completion

[mikehaertl]

Explain the issue

When this plugin is enabled I experience an issue with certain vsnippet based snippets in nvim-cmp:

If I move over one of the affected snippets in the nvim-cmp popup menu, the menu immediately closes (without confirmation!). It then leaves me with an incompletely expanded snippet in insert mode.

How to reproduce

Use the config below and start Neovim with nvim -u demo.vim.

1. Enter insert mode
2. Type x - it should bring up the completion menu
   
3. Move the selection down with <c-j>

The completion menu will close and leave you in this condition:

Now comment out the vim-matchup plugin and try the same. This time the menu doesn't close and you can select any item:

Additional information

So far I found out that the snippet must meet certain conditions:

• It must include a textEdit
• It probably has to include brackets like [, {, etc.

Does cmp offer any mechanism to tell when it is "busy?" Like a function or a variable I can inspect

[mikehaertl]

Hmm, you can check if the menu is visible, if that helps:

require('cmp').visible()

See https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp/blob/main/doc/cmp.txt#L155

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem with the config given.

One thing you can try is let g:matchup_matchparen_pumvisible = 0.

vim-matchup/doc/matchup.txt

Line 780 in d30b72d

*g:matchup_matchparen_pumvisible*

[mikehaertl]

It seems to only happen on the nightly build of neovim: Right now I'm on latest v0.10.0-dev-1535+g9ecb43b63 but also had the problem on an older build based on commit c4f4c7a35 from September.

I've tried with v0.9.3 and don't have the issue there, either.

So not sure if it's worth to investigate. On the other hand if the problem is not adressed it may still be in Neovim v0.10.0 when it's released.

Thanks but it does not change the behavior.

If I find time I can bisect the commit that introduced the problem in Neovim.

👍 Been hitting this issue for a few months, just got around to tracking the problem to vim-matchup.

[andymass]

cmp does not use vim's pum instead a custom window. I just pushed a commit that considers cmp.visible as recommended by @mikehaertl

[wustho]

+1 happens to me as well, thanks for the plugins btw, hopefully this issue will be resolved soon

Altho let g:matchup_matchparen_pumvisible = 0 works when I don't set window configuration to my cmp (ie. use default pumwin)

[trevorhauter]

+1 this is happening to me. I'm specifically noticing this with emmet_ls and nvim-cpm.
let g:matchup_matchparen_pumvisible = 0 does work but it causes noticeable lag when auto suggestions pop up :(

[JoeMob]

let g:matchup_matchparen_pumvisible = 0 dose solve the problem, but it makes input supper laggy.
