jedi#goto() uses `python_host_prog` not current active virtualenv

Issue

I’m using jedi-vim for goto functionality alongside deoplete-jedi for completions. I have disabled jedi-vim’s completions to accomplish this, as seen in my vimrc here. Autocompletion appears to work in my use case, but goto does not.

I recently used pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv as described here to set up a virtualenv specific to neovim, named neovim3. You can see I have this set in my g:python3_host_prog.

I also have a virtualenv set for each project I manipulate. For the sake of example let’s say I have a Tornado app that I install in a virtualenv named myapp. Installing this via my setup.py will install all the requirements, such as Tornado.

When editing my code, pyenv has correctly activated the virtualenv named myapp when I switched to that directory. I load up vim, which uses the Python interpreter found in the neovim3 virtualenv that has the neovim Python client and other tools.

Now, when I try autocompletion with something like the following

from tornado import gen
gen.<tab>

I get completions for everything defined and imported in the scope of that gen module, from absolute_import through to YieldPoint. I pick one of these classes or methods, such as gen.sleep and want to jump to its definition by hitting <leader>d and I get this error: jedi-vim: Couldn't find any definitions for this.

At this point I’m confused, since I thought deoplete-jedi uses jedi for its completion list. As an experiment I install myapp in the neovim3 virtualenv, and suddenly goto starts working for all the Tornado packages/modules.

So it looks like jedi looks for definitions only in the scope of what’s available in neovim3.

Since I’ve recently started trying to adopt best practices relating to virtualenvs, I would prefer not to install all of my projects into the neovim3 virtualenv, and only keep neovim/plugin requirements in there. What then is my best option? Am I doing something wrong in my configuration or is this simply not a supported case?

Steps to reproduce

As above, my vim config is available here

You can use glob() in your .vimrc and look at $VIRTUAL_ENV also. Maybe https://github.com/blueyed/dotfiles/blob/12ff8d2572e5333ef4a11c0c56f630e8d0e4d13f/vimrc#L3923 is an inspiration (although I am using something else locally already) - I cannot keep track with updating my online configs… 😕

Looks like neovim has no real dependencies or potential for conflict, so installing in every venv is probably the next best thing then.

Yes, it is not that heavyweight. You only have to do it for the non-default (i.e. old version) also.

Closing the issue then for now.

[blueyed]

What is the Python version in your neovim3 virtualenv? (likely different than the host (3.6)) Does it match (MAJOR.MINOR) the one in your project?

Jedi will use $VIRTUAL_ENV, but only if it matches…
