Path suggestions missing when cursor is followed by any other character

[gonstoll]

Make sure you have done the following

• Updated to the latest version of blink.cmp
• Searched for existing issues and documentation (try <C-k> on https://cmp.saghen.dev)

Bug Description

This has been partially discussed in this discussion. Head over there for more context.

Problem

When triggering completion on a path, no suggestion will be given if the any character comes after the cursor.

Moreover, as mentioned in that discussion by @Saghen, it might be worth adding path as one of the fallbacks for the lsp source, although that sadly doesn't seem to solve this problem.

Demo

blink.cmp

Screen.Recording.2025-01-08.at.09.48.08.mov

To make it more clear:

import foo from './|/'
//                 ^ Cursor is here, and completion window doesn't suggest anything

Here, / can be anything. If I have a r, u, or any character, it won't even suggest things.

import foo from './|'
//                 ^ Cursor is here, and suggestions appear on the completion window

nvim-cmp

import foo from './|/'
//                 ^ Cursor is here, and suggestions appear on the completion window

Relevant configuration

sources = {
  default = {'lsp', 'path', 'snippets', 'buffer', 'lazydev'},
  providers = {
    lsp = {
      fallbacks = {'buffer', 'path'},
    },
    lazydev = {
      name = 'LazyDev',
      module = 'lazydev.integrations.blink',
      score_offset = 100, -- show at a higher priority than lsp
    },
    snippets = {
      name = 'Snippets',
      module = 'blink.cmp.sources.snippets',
      min_keyword_length = 3,
      opts = {
        friendly_snippets = false,
        search_paths = {vim.fn.stdpath('config') .. '/snippets/nvim'},
      },
    },
  },
}

Trying this out a bit more, today I noticed something rather strange.

It turns out, this only happens on typescriptreact/javascriptreact filetypes 🤔:

For context, this is how it used to behave with nvim-cmp:

Screen.Recording.2025-01-10.at.17.24.11.mov

How my nvim-cmp used to look:

return {
  'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp',
  event = 'VeryLazy',
  dependencies = {
    'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp',
    'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer',
    'hrsh7th/cmp-path',
    'hrsh7th/cmp-cmdline',
    'hrsh7th/cmp-calc',
    'hrsh7th/cmp-emoji',
    'garymjr/nvim-snippets',
  },
  config = function()
    local cmp = require('cmp')
    local lspkind = require('lspkind')
    local cmp_select_opts = {behavior = cmp.SelectBehavior.Select}

    cmp.setup({
      snippet = {
        expand = function(args)
          vim.snippet.expand(args.body)
        end,
      },
      preselect = cmp.PreselectMode.None,
      completion = {
        completeopt = 'menu,menuone,noinsert,noselect',
      },
      mapping = {
        ['<CR>'] = cmp.mapping.confirm({select = false, behavior = cmp.ConfirmBehavior.Insert}),
        ['<C-e>'] = cmp.mapping.abort(),
        ['<C-u>'] = cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(-4),
        ['<C-d>'] = cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(4),
        ['<Up>'] = cmp.mapping.select_prev_item(cmp_select_opts),
        ['<Down>'] = cmp.mapping.select_next_item(cmp_select_opts),
        ['<C-p>'] = cmp.mapping.select_prev_item(cmp_select_opts),
        ['<C-n>'] = cmp.mapping.select_next_item(cmp_select_opts),
        ['<C-y>'] = cmp.mapping.complete(),
      },
      sources = cmp.config.sources({
        {name = 'lazydev', group_index = 0},
        {name = 'nvim_lsp', keyword_length = 1},
        {
          name = 'snippets',
          entry_filter = function()
            local ctx = require('cmp.config.context')
            local in_string = ctx.in_syntax_group('String') or ctx.in_treesitter_capture('string')
            local in_comment = ctx.in_syntax_group('Comment') or ctx.in_treesitter_capture('comment')
            return not in_string and not in_comment
          end,
        },
      }, {
        {name = 'buffer', keyword_length = 3},
        {name = 'emoji'},
        {name = 'calc'},
        {name = 'path'},
      }),
      formatting = {
        ---@type fun(entry: cmp.Entry, vim_item: vim.CompletedItem): vim.CompletedItem
        format = lspkind.cmp_format({
          mode = 'symbol_text',
        }),
        ---@type cmp.ItemField[]
        fields = {'abbr', 'kind'}, -- Remove 'menu' to avoid truncation
      },
    })

    cmp.setup.cmdline({'/', '?'}, {
      mapping = cmp.mapping.preset.cmdline(),
      sources = {
        {name = 'buffer'},
      },
    })

    cmp.setup.cmdline(':', {
      mapping = cmp.mapping.preset.cmdline(),
      sources = cmp.config.sources({
        {name = 'path'},
      }, {
        {name = 'cmdline'},
      }),
    })
  end,
}

Trying out different configurations sets, I managed to find something that seems to help with this. If I set opts.fuzzy.use_typo_resistance = false, triggering suggestions in the middle of the path seems to work again:

Screen.Recording.2025-01-12.at.13.07.32.mov

Is this desirable tho? I'd like to keep use_typo_resistance turned on at all times, or at least have the ability of turning it off for certain filetypes (in this case, turning it of if vim.bo.filetype == 'typescriptreact')
