I recently transitioned from LanguageClient-neovim to built-in lsp support and completion using omnifunc. However I was enticed by the promise of auto-imports and completion snippets including function arguments, so I've been trying to integrate nvim-cmp. It requires a snippet engine so I installed vsnip, which seems to be working fine. However autocomplete is not working.

No matter what I do, it won't recognize any of the completion sources I try to install.

I don't see any errors at any point, it just seems to be silently failing; autocomplete does not appear when I type.

Here is the output from running CmpStatus:

# unknown source names
- nvim_lsp

I'm not sure what other debugging options are available to me at this point other than print-debugging the cmp plugin.

I have installed the following relevant plugins using pathogen:

  • cmp-nvim-lsp
  • cmp-vsnip
  • nvim-cmp
  • nvim-lspconfig
  • vim-vsnip
  • vim-vsnip-integ

I have gradually pared down my config file to a (hopefully reasonably) minimal representation, including removing all of the sources and mappings I tried to configure for nvim-cmp except lsp support:

syntax on

filetype plugin indent on

set runtimepath=$HOME/.config/vim,$VIMRUNTIME

execute pathogen#infect()
execute pathogen#helptags()

map / <leader>

        snippet = {
                expand = function(args)
                        vim.fn['vsnip#anonymous'](args.body)
                end,
        },
        mapping = {
                --['<C-d>'] = cmp.mapping(cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(-4), { 'i', 'c' }),
                --['<C-f>'] = cmp.mapping(cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(4), { 'i', 'c' }),
                --['<C-Space>'] = cmp.mapping(cmp.mapping.complete(), { 'i', 'c' }),
                --['<C-y>'] = cmp.config.disable, -- Specify `cmp.config.disable` if you want to remove the default `<C-y>` mapping.
                --['<C-e>'] = cmp.mapping({
                --      i = cmp.mapping.abort(),
                --      c = cmp.mapping.close(),
                --}),
                --['<CR>'] = cmp.mapping.confirm({ select = true }),
        },
        sources = cmp.config.sources({
                { name = 'nvim_lsp' },
        }),

    My first thought would be to check the plugin docs or ask the plugin maintainers. They can probably guide you towards what you need or how to debug something.

This turned out to be an issue with the way that the completion sources are structured. Pathogen is not able to load them. I resolved the issue by switching to packer.

    Can you update your answer with the minimal structure you're using in packer? I'm getting the same error, with packer.
