Inline completion not working

Extension sample

inline-completions

VS Code version

1.87.2

What went wrong?

I am trying to understand how the inline code completion feature of vs code works and how I can use it in an extension. So, to understand its working, I went and looked at its code sample here.
However, as soon as I open and run the code without making any changes at all, I see the following errors:

Activating extension 'vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample' failed: Extension 'vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample' CANNOT use API proposal: inlineCompletionsAdditions. Its package.json#enabledApiProposals-property declares: but NOT inlineCompletionsAdditions. The missing proposal MUST be added and you must start in extension development mode or use the following command line switch: --enable-proposed-api vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample.

[vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample]: editor/inlineCompletions/actions is a proposed menu identifier. It requires 'package.json#enabledApiProposals: ["inlineCompletionsAdditions"]' and is only available when running out of dev or with the following command line switch: --enable-proposed-api vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample

I try running it regardless to see if it still works and it opens a new window as a playground with the below code:

// Trigger inline completions after each line

// [0,*):// Trigger inline completions in this line, they work!
// Trigger inline completions in this line

// [0,*):console.log(


// [0,*):console.log("foo"
// [0,*):console.log({ label: "("


// [0,*):console.log(`${(1+2}`)

// [0,*):({\n){

// [33,33):lambda x: x.notnull()
notNull = languages.apply();

I try typing in "console" just as they did in the demo gif in the sample code page I linked earlier but I am not getting the inline completion. I am just getting normal completion:

Also, I noticed that gif in the sample code is slightly cropped so I am not fully sure how they activated the inline completion as well. I see this issue having been raised multiple times in the past but I do not see any good solutions to it yet other than using VS Code insiders as pointed out by tamuratak in the discussion repo here.
So, it would be nice if this worked in normal VS Code as well so that I can understand its working better.

The sample worked for me after applying the changes suggested in #879.

The easiest way to invoke that vscode API, is to add into Runtime Arguments. By following this:

• Press Ctrl+Shift+P inside vscode
• Search for Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments
• Add your extension to the list: e.g., "enable-proposed-api": ["vscode-samples.inline-completion-sample"]
