autoComplete plugin cannot be installed, Missing configuration file. was created by francisakabo
autoComplete plugin has been working very well for me on version 3.27.6+210629 until I upgraded to Version 5.3.32+220817. When I scan for plugin files, I get this error message: "Missing configuration file". I am running LS on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. When i checked online, i saw that a bug was reported and fixed but then when I pulled the latest version, I realized that the issue persisted.

Please any assistance on how to fix this?

Thank you.

It would be a good idea to give a link to this autoComplete plugin.

Regarding the configuraqtion file.

Copy a config file from another plugin and adapt the texts

This I use for "autocomplete"
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <metadata>
        <name>Autocomplete</name>
        <type>plugin</type>
        <creationDate>2016-11-04</creationDate>
        <lastUpdate>2021-11-12</lastUpdate>
        <author>Denis Chenu</author>
        <authorUrl>https://www.sondages.pro</authorUrl>
        <version>2.2.1</version>
        <license>GNU Affero General Public License v3.0</license>
        <description><![CDATA[Autocomplete]]></description>
    </metadata>
 
    <compatibility>
        <version>5</version>
        <version>3</version>
        <version>2.73</version>
    </compatibility>
</config>

Some plugins originally developed for 3.x. don't include the config.xml. It was not required.

Maybe a pull request would make sense to update the plugin, so that it works out of the box. Thank you Joffm for providing this!

Adding the Config file was what I had remembered, but I couldn't provide any details.

One more word about this plugin.
It gets very very slow when there are many elements.
E.g. a list of 5000 elements took 12 seconds to show a result.
If you have many elements you should use this solution which is really fast.
Code:
<link href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-csv/1.0.11/jquery.csv.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function() {
  var url = "/upload/surveys/{SID}/files/names.csv";
  var Names = new Array();  $.get(url,function(data){
    fullArray = $.csv.toArrays(data);
    $(fullArray).each(function(i, item){
      Names.push(item[0]);
    });    $("#question{QID} input[type=text]:eq(0)").autocomplete({
      minLength: 2,
      source: Names
    });  });});</script>

If there are only a few elements (150) you may have a look at the question theme "searchable dropdown", or even "Multiple Choice dropdown"

Again the script
Code:
<link href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-csv/1.0.11/jquery.csv.min.js"></script>
 
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:complete', function() {
  var url = "/upload/surveys/{SID}/files/names.csv";
 
  var Names = new Array();
 
  $.get(url, function(data) {
    fullArray = $.csv.toArrays(data);
    $(fullArray).each(function(i, item) {
      Names.push(item[0]);
    });
 
    $("#question{QID} input[type=text]:eq(0)").autocomplete({
      minLength: 2,
      source: Names
    });
 
  });
});
</script>
