Autocompletion doesn't works about symfony-console-autocomplete HOT 4 CLOSED

Do you have /etc/bash_completion getting sourced during bash initialisation? I think it should be done by default on ubuntu but maybe it's disabled. If you source it manually and try again maybe it'll work.

Yes, I have the following code in ~/.profile:

if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
    . "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi

and

if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
fi

in ~/.bashrc.

I've manually dumped the output to /etc/bash_completion.d/symfony-autocomplete. Now completion works.
Thanks.

Your solution is cleaner 👍 The eval thing is just something that should be compatible with most OS.

I'm still curious to know what was the issue. I've tried with eval on a ubuntu server and it worked (for bin/console [TAB] but not ./bin/console [TAB]). Please send an update if you find out what was wrong.

BTW, before I've dumped to /etc/bash_completion.d/symfony-autocomplete I've tried to manually execute eval "$(symfony-autocomplete)" in the terminal and completion also works during that terminal session.
