YouCompleteMe freezes when used with python-mode

Question

When I type self. a popup will automatically select the first one and will never change no matter what input is given. For example, match 1 of 52 is shown.

After <Esc> is used to return to normal mode and enter insert mode again then YouCompleteMe works correctly again. It will show Back at Original and automatically updates with different input.

OS: Kubuntu 13.04

Vim version: 7.4.5

Possibly related plugin: ultisnips

Fixed: It is due to the python-mode autocomplete. When

let g:pymode_rope_complete_on_dot = 0

is set in the .vimrc, it is solved!

So, if you keep typing after you press dot... what happens? YCM is supposed to make this popup appear but it should insert the first selection when you continue to type. – Thurmanthurmann

Do you have any plugins for python installed? – Thurmanthurmann

you might trying YCM without those to see if the problem persists. If it does this seems like a bug for their issue tracker on github. – Thurmanthurmann

Please put your answer as an answer instead of editing your question. – Thurmanthurmann

Answer 1

It is due to the conflict with python-mode autocomplete.

let g:pymode_rope_complete_on_dot = 0

in the .vimrc, it is solved!

As it is not recommended to use auto completion of pymode and YouComplateMe at the same time, use the following to command to cancel the pymode completion totally.

let g:pymode_rope_completion = 0
