Parameter hints not working (for Python)

[ziatdinovmax]

Description

As of yesterday, the parameter hints option in Gitpod does not work for Python. It doesn't get triggered automatically, nor I can trigger it with a keyboard shortcut. I was recommended on Gitpod forum to file an issue here.

Reproduction Steps

Docker file:

FROM python:3.7

RUN  apt-get update && apt-get install --assume-yes python3-pip
COPY req.txt .
RUN  pip3 install -r req.txt
WORKDIR "/home"

req.txt:

setuptools==41.0.1
matplotlib==3.1.1
jupyterlab==1.0.1
pyro-ppl==0.4.1
nanonispy==1.0.6

.gitpod.yml:

image:
  file: Dockerfile
ports:
- port: 8080

OS and Theia version:
Theia on Gitpod

Hi @ziatdinovmax, thanks for following up with the issue.
I may be mistaken, but based on the information provided in the issue, it appears to be more of a Gitpod issue than a Theia one. Perhaps someone from Gitpod can confirm.

@vince-fugnitto that's problem an issue with VS Code extension integration in Theia, not with Gitpod. @AlexTugarev maybe you can clarify?

[svenefftinge]

@vince-fugnitto Gitpod is Theia. There are very little changes and we are updating regularly.

@ziatdinovmax I just verified, that this is working nicely with current master state of Theia, cf. my answer on spectrum.

FYI python.jediEnabled has to be set to false in order to use the new engine, and there was a bug in Theia which let it fail on load (#6173)

I think we can close this issue :-)

@AlexTugarev thank you!
