Problem Description

Kit does not seem to be fully working on latest 4.0.1 iteration. On the status bar of the IDE, it shows Kite: unsupported. Despite reinstalling Kite and installing plugins for Spyder it still shows unsupported. The result is that some of the features seem to be working but some auto completions won;t show in the editor pane.

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Download and install Kite engine (for Linux).
2. Launch Spyder and wait for some time (write code in the meantime)
3. Write code in the editor. After some time the status for Kite changes from ‘supported’ to ‘unsupported’.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Auto completions should work fully and the status should show ‘Ready’ for Kite. Instead it seems to be not indexing too.

Yes, you need to properly encode the URL with functions from https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/urllib.parse.html

Thanks for the logs @shivendra90 (indeed it can be quite difficult to navigate them) but I was able to replicate this. Basically the error is being caused for the & in the path of the file (in your case /home/shivendra/Desktop/AnalyticsVidhya/L&T/ltfs_analysis.py). As an example:

Just to confirm could you try to check the same file with unsupported status but placing it in another path without the &? Again, thanks for all the feedback and info 👍
