Inline completion not working as expected

[Pranith12250]

I am trying to understand how the inline code completion feature of vs code works and how I can use it in an extension. So, to understand its working, I went and looked at its code sample here.
However, as soon as I open and run the code without making any changes at all, I see the following errors:

Activating extension 'vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample' failed: Extension 'vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample' CANNOT use API proposal: inlineCompletionsAdditions. Its package.json#enabledApiProposals-property declares: but NOT inlineCompletionsAdditions. The missing proposal MUST be added and you must start in extension development mode or use the following command line switch: --enable-proposed-api vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample.

[vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample]: editor/inlineCompletions/actions is a proposed menu identifier. It requires 'package.json#enabledApiProposals: ["inlineCompletionsAdditions"]' and is only available when running out of dev or with the following command line switch: --enable-proposed-api vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample

I try running it regardless to see if it still works and it opens a new window as a playground with the below code:

// Trigger inline completions after each line

// [0,*):// Trigger inline completions in this line, they work!
// Trigger inline completions in this line

// [0,*):console.log(


// [0,*):console.log("foo"
// [0,*):console.log({ label: "("


// [0,*):console.log(`${(1+2}`)

// [0,*):({\n){

// [33,33):lambda x: x.notnull()
notNull = languages.apply();

I try typing in "console" just as they did in the demo gif in the sample code page I linked earlier but I am not getting the inline completion. I am just getting normal completion:

Also, I noticed that gif in the sample code is slightly cropped so I am not fully sure how they activated the inline completion as well. So, I need help with two things:

1. What are the errors I mentioned earlier and how do I resolve them? and
2. What do I need to do to see the inline completion working in the playground? Is there something that I am not doing right because of which it is not working or is it because of the error I mentioned earlier?

The sample needs updates. See

• inline-completions example is not work vscode-extension-samples#867
• fix the inlineCompletion example vscode-extension-samples#879

A simple workaround is to install VS Code Insiders .
