Inconsistent code assist suggestions for range expression

[mauromol]

Found while verifying #676.

Ensure auto activation is enabled and type: (1..2).ea. Code assist will be shown and will list each and eachWithIndex. While code assist suggestion list is open, hit Ctrl+Space to cycle through proposals. Otherwise, close the suggestion list and hit ctrl+space: a new suggestion list is shown, including, for instance, forEach.
It seems like that when auto-activation occurs, the range is evaluated as Object, while after you call code assist "manually", it's evaluated as Iterable, hence giving additional proposals.

If you pause before typing the dot, does it change? When typing quickly, reconcile does not run and so the semantics of the new code is not known.

I tried to type (1..2), wait for 5 seconds, then .eac, but I still see the same behaviour (i.e.: only suggestions for Object, not for Iterable, unless I close the suggestion list and reopen, or cycle through proposal lists).

[mauromol]

In any case, I would say that I would prefer to be blocked for a while waiting for the reconciler to produce a consistent suggestion list rather than having an inconsistent suggestion list appear quickly...

[eric-milles]

Could you increase the auto-activation delay? There may be a number that allows the reconciler to finish and give you the proper suggestions. If we can establish what a working delay is, we can then discuss what a preferred delay would be.

[mauromol]

I've risen the auto-activation delay up to 5000 ms (a looong delay), but I still see the same behaviour.
I would guess it's not a timing issue, then...

Ready to test

Tested with 3.1.0.xx-201808212342-e47, works as expected! 👍
Now just seeing what described in #674 ;-)
