Re: codeComplete does nothing!

["Andrew McCullough" <mccull1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you sure that there are valid code completions from the point in the
file that matched offset?  The completion engine will only return possible
completions visible in the context of "offset".  So, for example,
xyz<offset> will only return completions begining with "xyz".  Another
example is new <offset> does not provide any completions.  You should find
the offset in the file and use normal code complete to see what "normally"
shows up.
