Environment data

TSP settings:

    "python.analysis.enableExternalTypeServer": true,
    "python.analysis.typeServerArguments": [
        "tsp"
    ],
    "python.analysis.typeServerExecutable": "/Users/kylei/projects/test/.venv/bin/pyrefly"

• Pylance version: 2026.1.102
• OS: Mac
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.13.8 using UV
• Pyrefly version:

(test) testkylei@kylei-mbp test % pyrefly --version

Code Snippet

TypeVa|

->
See no completions

Expected behavior

Auto import completion for from <> import TypeVar

I can also reproduce this for adjacent file import completions:

foo.py # def test(): ...
foo2.py # tes| # no completions

I can't reproduce this one. It works for me:

This is with our latest (2026.2.1) and what is in the main branch for pyrefly.

[kinto0]

hmm... I still can reproduce it every time. I wonder if there's better debugging information I can get you?

[rchiodo]

If you turn on Trace level log information in VS Code:

And then in your settings.json set this:

  "python.trace.server": "compact",

That will cause all LSP messages to be logged. We can see if the completion message is being sent and what the result is.

Is your example just a blank file?

[kinto0]

empty file. here's my Python window output, which seems to contain some TSP messages. here's the Python Language Server window output, which I'd expect to show LS messages but I don't see any initialize message or completions at all. tried with "python.trace.server" compact and verbose.

Did you set the global log level? 'Developer : Set Log Level'

Might need to restart the extension host too.

that was it. here's the full logs. it looks like in these we only get 1 diagnostic per log line. but I still see two errors and I definitely don't have the pyrefly extension installed
