When defining global variable using `---@class _G` + `---@field`, no autocompletion in `_G.*` for those injected fields

How are you using the lua-language-server?

Visual Studio Code Extension (sumneko.lua)

Which OS are you using?

Windows

What is the issue affecting?

Completion

Expected Behaviour

The _G class is defined in extension's basic.lua, representing the global vairable. I expected the following should merge the defined fields into the global variable.

---@class _G
---@field player_min integer
---@field player_max integer

print(p--[[should have autocompletion]])
print(_G.p--[[should have autocompletion]])

Actual Behaviour

LuaLs recognized the injected field in the hover preview of _G, however no autocompletion for those fields are provided, unless I write _G._G.*.

---@class _G
---@field player_min integer
---@field player_max integer

print(p--[[no autocompletion]])
print(_G.p--[[no autocompletion]])
print(_G._G.p--[[!!! has autocompletion !!!]])

Reproduction steps

Use the code snippet provided above.

Additional Notes

LuaLS actually recognized the injected fields in the hover preview of _G, just the autocompletion is not working as expected.

Meanwhile the workaround is the use ---@type annotation for global variable. However as discussed here, unless the global variable is of table type, otherwise any default value assigned to it will be misleading as the global variable may not be a const.

No response

使用提供的 Lua 代码片段复现 Visual Studio Code 扩展中的补全行为，然后检查 basic.lua 中针对 _G 的定义和补全路径。当使用 @field 在 _G 上声明的字段同时出现在全局补全和 _G.* 补全中，且不要求使用 _G._G.* 时，即表示完成。
