The console service is a gRPC service that provides the ability to execute code and get autocompletion results (see [console.proto](https://github.com/deephaven/deephaven-core/blob/main/proto/proto-backplane-grpc/src/main/proto/deephaven_core/proto/console.proto) for more details).

## Configuration

- `deephaven.console.disable`: may be set to `false` to disable console-based code execution.
- `deephaven.console.autocomplete.disable`: may be set to `false` to disable autocomplete, both for Groovy and Python.

See the [configuration file](./config-file.md) guide for more details on where to set these configuration properties.

## Jedi

Deephaven uses [jedi](https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi) for the console autocompletion service currently used by the [web UI](https://github.com/deephaven/web-client-ui).

To disable jedi autocomplete at runtime, the following script can be run:

```python skip-test
from deephaven_internal.auto_completer import jedi_settings, Mode

jedi_settings.mode = Mode.OFF
```

Valid options for `mode` are one of:

- `STRONG`: (default) Looks in the user's `globals()` for answers to autocomplete and analyzes runtime Python objects.
- `OFF`: Turns off autocomplete.
- `SAFE`: Uses static analysis of source files. No code can be executed.
