No Auto Brace Completion with ES6 IntelliSense

[jackalsin]

First, thanks for your work
My question is how to make auto brace completion work.
Is that possible for you to review this post ?

copy from the post

is the Automatic Brace Completion really working?

It seems so according to the following youtube link:

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct4oW_cRMMw 

            at 02:10, and

            at 17:50

but I definitely check the box in Option->TextEditor->JavaScript->Automatic Brace Completion

I installed node js tool: NTVS.1.2.RC.VS.2015

Using VS 2015 Community under windows 10

Test this feature by creating an Express application and a blank javascript visual

And I have reinstalled the VS already... and this feature in C++ and C# are working

is there any trick I missed ?

I really really really need this feature. This is the only flaw so far to develop a javascript program in VS

Please help

BTW, i notice Sara in the presentation video can do something like auto complete member in function like the video at 01:00 in the link

Thanks for the report. I've confirmed this is an issue but it appears to be a Typescript problem: microsoft/TypeScript#1484 We use Typescript to power our modern IntelliSense experience and it looks like they will only start supporting automatic brace completion with Typescript 2.0.

I confirmed this is the root cause by switching from our Typescript powered editor/intellisense to our old static analysis engine powered ES5 intellisense: Tools -> Options then Text Editor -> Node.js -> IntelliSense. This restores automatic brace completion, however I strong recommend against doing this because there are a number of other benefits to the new Typescript IntelliSense experience.

May I ask how Sara did something like in the video at 1:00 ?

[mjbvz]

The video was on an older version of NTVS so the behavior in 1.2 will be somewhat different. What specifically did you notice in the video? The part where it autocompletes the entire function instead of just the function keyword, or how she was able to fill in the function name?

[jackalsin]

Sorry for my English, I mean complete the entire function

[mjbvz]

With old, ES5 IntelliSense, you could do that by entering function and then pressing tab. That is no longer supported by Typescript to my knowledge.

Thank you,

Have a nice weekend~

I am waiting to fix this problem, too.

Typescript 2.0 should resolve this. Try downloading the beta for VS2015 and checking the brace completion works as expected. You may have to manually enable the option back completion option again for Node.js to get it working.
