composer autocompletes, console only globs about symfony-console-autocomplete HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi. I'm not on Ubuntu and I'm not 100% sure what bin/console is. I assume it is some sort of Symfony Console command runner?

Is it just the case that you need to run symfony-autocomplete for bin/console?

I'm on OSX. I use composer and have a run script in that to update all my auto-completions.

(snipped example).

  "scripts": {
    "update-autocomplete": "scripts/update-autocomplete.sh"
  }

That script ...

#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo Building bash auto-completion for artisan
./vendor/bin/symfony-autocomplete ./artisan > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/artisan

echo Building bash auto-completion for composer
./vendor/bin/symfony-autocomplete composer > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/composer

echo Building bash auto-completion for phinx
./vendor/bin/symfony-autocomplete ./vendor/robmorgan/phinx/bin/phinx > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/phinx

echo Building bash auto-completion for wu
./vendor/bin/symfony-autocomplete ./wu > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/wu

echo Removing bash auto-completion for pipeline as no longer used
rm -rf $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/pipeline

echo Recycle your terminal to load the auto-completions.

Does this help?

Internally, the symfony-autocomplete is attempting to run the command you've supplied with the options list --format=xml and then parse/process the results.

If bin/console list --format=xml produces a valid XML file, then symfony-autocomplete should be able to do its thing.

In my script, I'm creating a separate auto completer for each of my commands (and dropping one I no longer need).

This whole process takes around 10s to run as it builds and process all the XML files.
