Autocomplete not working properly in tasks file within role about vscode-ansible HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm closing this issue since I can see the language server is already on the horizon. Thanks for the great work!

Ok, I did some more digging: Turns out VS Code is using a completely different schema for the playbook (not from the https://github.com/ansible-community/schemas repository), no idea why.

But the problem remains: I can't get any suggestions for modules in the tasks file, even though they are in the schema that's being used (https://github.com/ansible-community/schemas/blob/main/f/ansible-tasks.json).

This is kinda expected/known and it will take some time to be fixed. We discovered that JSON schema does not scale to the size of the data model we have on Ansible, especially when Ansible has all community modules. The plan is to replace current use of YAML extension with a custom language server for Ansible, which would not have such limitations.

Still, that is a major piece of work and I do suspect it will take a couple of months to complete.

Thanks for the heads up! I can see that developing a new language server for Ansible is no small feat.

Probably we will close most existing bugs when we make the first release with the language server as they will no longer apply.

I'm experiencing the same problem. Has the language server been released yet? If not, is there a relevant issue I can follow?
