Friendly Jira Robot created ERT-173: --------------------------------------- Summary: Need to find a better solution for npm dependencies content assistant [EBZ#492192] Key: ERT-173 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ERT-173 Project: Eclipse Release Train Issue Type: Task Components: WTP Source Editing Reporter: Friendly Jira Robot In order to show content assist proposals for npm dependencies a 3rd party web service was used. It was a really problematic due to its unstable work, slowness and a tendency to change an URL for requests and formats of response. I do believe, we should not provide any content assist for dependencies in case no search pattern is provided (typed in) by a user because of really huge memory requirements and network overload in such case: - Native "npm search" command fails to list all the available packages on my environment after about 5 minutes of downloading packages Given this, IMHO, we have not to show *all* available packages in content assistant, but show package list only if at least first letter (or a couple of beginning letters) of package name is typed in by a user. Also the way to get the proposals itself is also a question: we cannot rely on 3rd party services as they are not enough stable and fast. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
