Not getting type hint sugesstion in vs code 🙏🙏🙏

[RanaRana10]

• Faker version: latest Faker 24.14.0

Here my question is after i defines,

fake = Faker()

and then i try to use fake.name, fake.address etc, i though when i write the dot(.) i should get some type hint sugestion of list parameter or fun or so on which i thought we should see it,

see i am not getting any sugesstion but when i use other library or suppose i am using, the random

see like this case i am getting sugesstion , like this, how i can get type hint when using this faker libarry in my vs code, as for otehr libaryr i use i always see the type hint

With #1939, faker started providing a proxy.pyi stub file which should be picked up by your IDE in theory. Although for some reason, the corresponding stubs are omitted from the binary distributions at the moment: 6182c3e

[stefan6419846]

Could you please try to update to the latest version and try again?

@stefan6419846 installing faker from git does work now, so it should be a matter of pushing a new release

[stefan6419846]

Version 24.14.1 has been released already including the corresponding fix: https://github.com/joke2k/faker/blob/refs/tags/v25.0.0/CHANGELOG.md#v24141---2024-04-28

[mishamsk]

I didn’t test 24.14.1, but 25.0.0 doesn’t package pyi file

[stefan6419846]

I do not know how the release bundles are built, but running the usual python -m build . locally with the latest code generates a wheel file which indeed includes the faker/proxy.pyi file. Thus we probably have to wait for @fcurella to clarify this.

[mishamsk]

yeah, this works too pip install git+https://github.com/joke2k/faker.git which is more or less the same. However, downloading the latest version from pypi clearly shows that sdist includes the stub, but wheel doesn't:

tbh I've never used vanilla python build backend, so not sure why this is happening. My best guess is that it should also be included here:

faker/setup.py

Line 66 in 7f5dc14

"faker": ["py.typed"],

i still not understand how i can allow the type sugesstion in vs code like i want to see the sugession when write

fake.name() fake.addre it should show a sugesstion fake.address like autocomplite, but i dont get any , i want to say this problem, can you say more

i wish here should show a sugession like .address

[RanaRana10]

see what i say why the type hint need, see this example,

when i move my mouse cursor to this i expect this will show "int" return , but it always shows any, this maybe need to solve, as actual returns need to show here

[fcurella]

I've just released v25.0.1. Could you give it a try?

[stefan6419846]

I just had a look at the wheel and the file seems to be part of it now:

i am not good enough in python, i dont understand the things you have said,
i ask you , do you understand what things i means to say here,

like this i want to say in the docs of faker it says a lot of things available, like in the official docs it shows alot of list but when i do this

from faker import Faker
fake = Faker()

and then use fake, is this here any issue, or providers what it say, i mostly want for type hint, as one example is,

a fun which returns string, and after write the fun when i write (fun()). then here shows a lot of string related type hint, when a fun returns a int, it shows int related type hint, like this, so this will mroe helpful, that why i am saying about the type hint in this faker

so that if vs code give sugesstion and we can know what a fun will return what kind of obj, then we can perform the operation on this obj easily

like this case i want to get the lower letter, so for this, as when i press . i dont get any type hint , so i mistakes sometime wehre to give the lower()
as 2nd and 3rd line username gives same expected reasult which is to use

[stefan6419846]

Please upgrade to the latest version and try again. In theory, it should work now as the required file is being shipped now.

[fcurella]

@RanaRana10 you can check Faker's version with Faker.VERSION:

>>> import faker
>>> faker.VERSION
'25.0.1'

and like this type hint, is really so so so much helpful, i cannot express my enjoyment with this,

this type of hint direct in the code editor is really so much easy ❤❤❤
