~/.bash_completion.d/python-argcomplete.sh prevents other completions about argcomplete HOT 6 CLOSED

I found some bash reference on complete and the -o option got my attention:

-o comp-option

The comp-option controls several aspects of the compspec’s behavior beyond the simple generation of completions. comp-option may be one of:

bashdefault
Perform the rest of the default Bash completions if the compspec generates no matches.
default
Use Readline’s default filename completion if the compspec generates no matches.

It seems that adding the bashdefault option fixes the problem:

complete -o default -o bashdefault -D -F _python_argcomplete_global

Now it completes the environment variables as well.

Thank you for your contribution. I wasn't aware of the difference, and see no reason not to add -o bashdefault.

Released in v0.6.6, please give it a try.

Good to know, I hope this doesn't cause any other side effects. I have been testing it with my scripts and my regular use of bash and everything seems to work. Thank you.

register-python-argcomplete is not using -o bashdefault by default:

Although it can be overridden with --complete-arguments, maybe we can include -o bashdefault for individual command registration as well?

Thank you for reporting @jiasli. This appears to be an oversight. Would you like to submit a PR?

from argcomplete.

Sure. With pleasure!
