Subject: bash-completion: Fail to complete file with something between square brackets

Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 17:19:36 -0300

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-2
Severity: normal


luca@azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'['
luca@azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
luca@azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'[]'
luca@azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  
luca@azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'[2]'
luca@azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  
luca@azazel:~$ vi /tmp/\[ # 'vi /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  
luca@azazel:~$ cd /tmp/\[ # 'cd /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  
luca@azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'[a]'
luca@azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  

As you can see, '[2]' and '[a]' fails to complete. The other files with
'[' and '[]' work well.

thanks

Hello Leandro,
I can't really reproduce the bug here, with the current development version:

[   []

$ ls \[<TAB>
[    []   [2]  
$ ls \[

Not tested -- and that shouldn't have worked for you. `cd' should only complete
on directories, and with "touch" you didn't create directories:

$ cd [<TAB>
$ cd [

> luca@azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'[a]'
> luca@azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
> [   []  

$ touch [a]
$ ls [<TAB>
$ ls \[
$ ls \[<TAB>
[    []   [2]  [a]  
$ ls \[

I can't really see this behaviour, thus marking this bug as unreproducible.
Would you please try the current development version?
