Could you add complete-on-dot feature to robe?

robe is an excellent package but I really want complete-on-dot feature.

The similar package, it's for python though, jedi is supporting that feature and I find that is very useful completion method.
I would send a pull request if I could, but unfortunately I don't know elisp for the moment.

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to keep this issue open, but for the moment this would do more bad than good: completion right after dot will often be too slow, because when we don't know the type of the call target, we list all methods available on all classes.

It will make more sense after a more precise type analysis is added (using a real parser, most likely).

Thank you for the quick response.

Completion right after dot could be slow, but I didn't think it is such a slow thing because you require pry, which knows the type of the call target and shows right completion list available to the target.

Though I don't know the implementation of the completion feature of robe, I'd like to hope you add completion right after dot (non-slow one! ) in the future.

any updates on this?

Not much. It's faster now, but still not fast or accurate enough.
