Notebooks in ArcGIS Pro does not do completion and does not show tooltips of functions/modules

AgataSiwińska-Mielewczyk — Tue, 30 May 2023 10:21:57 GMT

I have ArcGIS Pro 3.1.2 and want to use notebook. While writing code and pressing TAB or shift + tab I should be given completion tips or tooltips with help. My notebook in ArcGIS Pro does not do it. I have no idea what can be the reason of such behaviour. Please if any of you can help me with the issue.

Kind regards,

Marcin

Hi @AgataSiwińska-Mielewczyk

The tab completion feature will only work in the circumstances outlined in the documentation found here. Ensure you are only hitting tab after a dot following an object or library, as the suggestions will not work if you have partially typed out what you are looking for.

Correction:

It looks like this is a currently known defect for ArcGIS Pro 3.1.x. It is currently logged as BUG-000157425 and is under review. In the meantime, you may get some use from the help() function, otherwise, for now you will have to type out the methods as I expect reverting to 3.0.3 is a bit more trouble than its worth to workaround this.

While IntelliSense works well in the Python Window, it remains non-functional in ArcGIS Pro Notebooks as of version 3.4.0 (November 2024). This limitation significantly reduces the usability of ArcGIS Pro’s Notebook implementation compared to Jupyter Notebooks, where IntelliSense is fully supported.

Return to this subject

I think I saw in the last dev summit that there was some kind of IntelliSense in the notebook using right mouse click.

It does not work for me in 3.4

Anybody have any idea?

I'm running 3.2 and right-click doesn't work. Hitting the Tab key after the dot on an an object as originally suggested by @Taren_Esri does sort of help, but is far from a complete solution.
