Missing method completions within object initialization

[vmarasow]

Summary

The methods are missing from the code completion drop-down when ctrl-space is clicked from within an object initialization, ex. new Object(Name= System.) the subclasses from System show up but the methods don't.
I tested this outside the scope of an object initialization and the methods are showing up in the drop down.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Define and initialize a new Object, any object.
2. Within initialization, set a property to the result of a method call, ex. System.today().
3. Use code completion to populate the today() method.

Expected result

Actual result

Hi @vmarasow . Can you check out the "Enable Code Smartness for SObjects" section of this documentation and see if it solves your problem? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=salesforce.salesforcedx-vscode-apex

I tried that and it didn't fix this issue

Hi @vmarasow, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I was able to reproduce this locally, and it seems that the special syntax available for sobject initialization is an edge case that is not currently supported by our language server. A new work item has been filed to implement support for this case.
