Thanks for reporting and opening a PR. Curious, what is the purpose of using argcomplete if the script supplying the completions is a shell script? Why not register that natively with the shell directly?
I appreciate that -e
is not working as expected with zsh, but I'm trying to better understand how people use -e
in general.
from argcomplete.
Hello.
My use cases:
1)
I have script.py and some aliases to useful commands:
alias scmd1='script.py cmd1'
alias scmd1='script.py cmd1'
...
alias scmdn='script.py cmdN'
As you know, bash does not complete aliased and zsh tries to complete them but with very strange result.
I do next script:
# $1 - alias name
# $2 - target commands
__gen_completion_func() {
eval "
__completion_$1()
{
local _alias=$1
local aliaslen=\${#_alias}
local realcmd=\"$2\"
local realcmdlen=\${#realcmd}
COMP_POINT=\$(expr \$COMP_POINT - \$aliaslen + \$realcmdlen)
COMP_LINE=\"\${realcmd}\${COMP_LINE:\$aliaslen}\"
script.py
}"
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete -e __completion_$1 $1)"
}
# and call it:
__gen_completion_func scmd1 "script.py cmd1"
__gen_completion_func scmd2 "script.py cmd2"
...
for zsh you also need
setopt completealias
I have some command:
scripty.py dir
which get name of component and return location of it.
to make cd onto location I use next shell function:
kcd() {
dir=$(script.py dir $1) && cd $dir;
}
# and use previous function to generate completion:
__gen_completion_func kcd "script.py dir"
from argcomplete.
