Fixing Code Completion Issues in VS Code for Django

There are several potential solutions to restore code completion/autosuggestions in VS Code when working with Django. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check Python Extension

Make sure you have the Python extension installed and properly configured:

• Verify the Python extension is installed and up to date
• Ensure you've selected the correct Python interpreter (bottom right of VS Code or via Command Palette: "Python: Select Interpreter")

2. Install Django-specific Extensions

Consider installing Django-specific extensions that can improve autocompletion:

• Django extension
• Django Snippets

3. Configure IntelliSense Settings

Check your VS Code settings:

JSONCopied
{
    "python.linting.enabled": true,
    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true,
    "editor.suggestSelection": "first",
    "python.jediEnabled": false,  // Try toggling this value
    "python.languageServer": "Pylance"  // Make sure this is set to Pylance
}

4. Verify Virtual Environment

If you're using a virtual environment:

• Make sure VS Code is using the correct virtual environment where Django is installed
• Try reinstalling Django in your virtual environment: pip install django

5. Restart Language Server

Try restarting the Python language server:

• Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P)
• Type and select "Python: Restart Language Server"

6. Clear Cache

Sometimes clearing the VS Code cache can help:

• Close VS Code
• Delete the .vscode folder in your project directory (if it exists)
• Restart VS Code

7. Check for Syntax Errors

Syntax errors in your code can sometimes prevent autocompletion from working properly. Check for any errors in your Python files.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, you might want to try reinstalling VS Code or checking if there are any conflicting extensions that might be interfering with the Python language server.
