@DetachHead This touches a lot of stuff, so it will probably be a huge pain to merge with future pyright releases... |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
i think instead of adding a config option we should add an option to the type printer to not truncate the string at all if it's for a completion

We introduce a new configuration property
maxLiteralStringLengththat fixes #1416 and #1655.The property can be set either in the serverSettings (e.g.
.vscode/settings.json):{ "basedpyright.analysis.maxLiteralStringLength": 100 }or in the
pyproject.toml:or in the
pyrightconfig.json:{ "maxLiteralStringLength": 100 }Know issues
It looks like we can't control the render-length of completion suggestions, which is unfortunate. However, even though completion suggestions are still truncated after 50 characters, the effective value on auto-complete respects the configuration property.
