Example Code

from datetime import datetime

from sqlmodel import Field, SQLModel
from typing import Optional


class MyModel(SQLModel, table=True):
    id: Optional[int] = Field(default=None, primary_key=True)
    dev_email: str = Field(index=True)
    account_id: str = Field(index=True)
    other_id: Optional[str] = None
    failed: Optional[bool] = False
    created: datetime = Field(sa_column_kwargs={'default': datetime.utcnow})
    updated: datetime = Field(sa_column_kwargs={'default': datetime.utcnow, 'onupdate': datetime.utcnow})

I think it's a PyCharm issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-30187

The same issue exist in Pydantic and they made a plugin for it in PyCharm. I tried it in the hopes that it might fix this issue but sadly it only worked on pydantic models.

I found a fix here: koxudaxi/pydantic-pycharm-plugin#344. Relevant provided you've installed the Pydantic plugin.

tldr: Add the following lines to your pyproject.yaml.

[tool.pydantic-pycharm-plugin]
ignore-init-method-arguments = true

I had to restart Pycharm to get it working.

@white54503 solution didn't work for me, I still only get autocomplete on instantiated objects, not on the sqlmodel table class itself for example when writing queries:

This is still an issue with PyCharm 2022.2.1, any workaround? Pydantic's plugin doesn't help with the query's columns autocompletion.

Installing the pydantic plugin worked for me, am running Pycharm 2022.2.1 Build #PY-222.3739.56

It does work for me when creating new instances, but it doesn't when making queries with SQLModel. Does that work for you?

Yeah only works for creating new instances, I also tried doing the toml file config, still doesn't work as expected l

No news about this issue ?

I'm also having this issue in pycharm 2023.1.
I get autocomplete on instances of SQLModel, but can't get autocomplete on fields of the class.
It does work in VSCode.
Any news on this?

In my experience, the most effective solution for flask sqlalchemy autocomplete is by installing flask-sqlalchemy-stubs package, a method I've found to be particularly insightful.
