Abstract

Code completion suggestions may be proactively obtained and validated. An event that triggers obtaining a code completion suggestion for inclusion in a code file being edited using an integrated development environment may be detected. The code completion suggestion may be obtained. The characters of the code completion suggestion may be compared with characters added to the code file after the detection of the event that triggered obtaining the code completion suggestion to determine whether the code completion suggestion is valid. A valid code completion suggestion may then be displayed.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

at least one processor;
and
a memory, storing program instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to implement an integrated development environment, configured to:
detect an event that triggers a request for a code completion suggestion to include in a code file being edited using the code development system;
send a request for a code completion suggestion to a code generation system, wherein the request comprises one or more characters immediately preceding a cursor at a first time when the event that triggers the request for the code completion suggestion is detected;
receive the code completion suggestion from the code generation system, the code completion suggestion comprising one or more suggested characters to input to the code file immediately after the cursor at the first time;
compare a number of the one or more suggested characters with a corresponding number of one or more actual characters input to the code file after the first time to determine that the comparison of the number of the one or more suggested characters with the corresponding number of the one or more actual characters satisfies one or more validation criteria;
and
responsive to determining that the one or more validation criteria are satisfied, display the code completion suggestion for input to the code file.

6 more elements

A method, comprising:

detecting, by an integrated development environment, an event that triggers obtaining a code completion suggestion to include in a code file being edited using the integrated development environment;
causing, by the integrated development environment, generation of a code completion suggestion based, at least in part, on one or more characters immediately preceding a cursor at a first time when the event that triggers the request for the code completion suggestion is detected, wherein the code completion suggestion comprises one or more suggested characters to input to the code file immediately after the cursor at the first time;
comparing, by the integrated development environment, a number of the one or more suggested characters with a corresponding number of one or more actual characters input to the code file after the first time to determine that the comparison of the number of the one or more suggested characters with the corresponding number of the one or more actual characters satisfy one or more validation criteria;
and
responsive to determining that the one or more validation criteria are satisfied, displaying, by the integrated development environment, the code completion suggestion for input to the code file.

2 more elements

One or more non-transitory, computer-readable storage media, storing program instructions that when executed on or across one or more computing devices cause the one or more computing devices to implement:

detecting an event that triggers obtaining a code completion suggestion to include in a code file being edited using the code development system;
obtaining a code completion suggestion based, at least in part, on one or more characters immediately preceding a cursor at a first time when the event that triggers the request for the code completion suggestion is detected, wherein the code completion suggestion comprises one or more suggested characters to input to the code file immediately after the cursor at the first time;
comparing a number of the one or more suggested characters with a corresponding number of one or more actual characters input to the code file after the first time to determine that the comparison of the number of the one or more suggested characters with the corresponding number of the one or more actual characters satisfies one or more validation criteria;
and
responsive to determining that the one or more validation criteria are satisfied, displaying the code completion suggestion for input to the code file.
