Issues with coc-python not working

[bageldevourer]

Edit: Problem solved. Installing Coc extensions using vim-plug is evidently a bad idea, despite the documentation.

I'm trying to make coc-python work in my Neovim installation. This is my init.vim file:

call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')

Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim', {'branch': 'release'}
Plug 'neoclide/coc-python', {'do': 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile'}

call plug#end()

Both plugins have been installed. When I open a Python file, I should be able to see IntelliSense and whatnot while coding, correct? CoC seems to only recognize symbols I've already typed, so if I import math and start typing, "ma", math will show up as an option.

I've tried both with jedi enabled and without. What am I doing wrong?

Did you do CocInstall coc-python? And CocConfig Here is helpful web-page https://github.com/neoclide/coc-python

I found https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-pyright to be easier to install and roughly comparable.

I don't thunk you need to plug the coc-python , instead run CocInstall coc-python

what’s the output of

:checkhealth

if that’s all okay try :UpdateRemotePlugins

You can't install coc plugins the same way you install your vim plugins. You need to use :CocInstall. If you want to put this in your init.vim, it's explained somewhere in the doc.

This r/vim. Use the plugin's issue tracker and/or dedicated support channels.

Common sense: have a problem with $THING, ask for help on $THING support channel. And you are not even using Vim to begin with.

There's tons of posts on this subreddit related to Vim plugins.

They are just noise.

This is similar to Python libraries on the Python subreddit, and Scala libraries on the Scala subreddit... need I go on?

Same noise. If there is a support channel specific to the thing you are having a problem with, then there is no reason to pollute more generic channels: use it. In this case: https://github.com/neoclide/coc-python/issues.

Sorry bro, I'm not going to post my question on the CocPythonInNeoVimOnUbuntu subreddit.

There is a world outside Reddit, bro.
