Does blink.cmp support nofile buftypes?

[olimorris]

I'm looking to add a source for my plugin, to blink.

For context, the buffer I would like blink to work in is a custom filetype but with a buftype of nofile. So with my custom source:

--codecompanion.integrations.blink
local M = {}

function M.new()
  return setmetatable({}, { __index = M })
end

function M:get_trigger_characters()
  return { "/" }
end

function M:enabled(context)
  if context then
    return vim.bo[context.bufnr].filetype == "codecompanion"
  end
  return true -- force this to be enabled for the purposes of this demo
end

function M:get_completions(context, callback)
  print("ENABLED")
end

return M

and my custom config:

-- ...
sources = {
  compat = {},
  completion = {
    enabled_providers = { "lsp", "path", "snippets", "buffer", "codecompanion" },
  },
  providers = {
    codecompanion = {
      name = "CodeCompanion",
      module = "codecompanion.integrations.blink",
      enabled = true,
    },
  },
},
-- ...

I will only ever see the printed message enabled, if I do :set buftype= and then hit the trigger character in the buffer.

Is this by design? Is there a way I could around this?

It automatically disables itself on buftype ~= '' but that definitely seems like something we should change. While you're waiting, you can change is_blocked_buffer() in lib/utils.lua to not check the buftype

Awesome. Shall I transfer this to an issue?

That'd be great thanks!
