Subject: please make bash-completion falling back to path completion if nothing else is found

Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:12:22 +0900

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi David,

it is a bit a pain. As long as not all scenarios are covered bash completion
should fall back to usual normal trivial path completion, and not ignore
or prevent usage.

Recent example:
	make KDIR=/lib/mod<TAB><TAB>
give nothing.

Yes
	KDIR=/lib/mod<TAB>
does completion, but for make to take it up I have to add it at the END (!!!)
So compiling for a new kernel an out-of-tree module I have to
	make KDIR=/lib/modules/2.6.32-rc4
and this is again a case where the completion algorith just walks in your way
and make you feel stupid.

Why not fall back to normal path completion in the case that no other
completion is found? That would leverage a huge class of bugs (some of
which I have filed).

bash-completion should NOT try to be more intelligent than the user, please.


Thanks

Subject: bash-completion broken in squeeze

Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 13:45:36 +0100

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-3
Severity: normal

I had a friend test this in Fedora where it works.

Example:

$cd ~
$mkdir tab
$cd tab
$mkdir "dir 1"
$mkdir "dir 2"
$cd ~
$ls tab<TAB>

yields: 
$ls tab/

$ls tab<TAB><TAB>
yields:
$ls tab/dir\[space]

TAB'ing further yields nothing, whereas in fedora it lists 'dir 1' 'dir 2' and what else there's in tab/

I can come up with a multitude of examples from dirs with subfolders with more than one space in them:

I have a folder named "Elbow" and in that album there are several albums named like this:
Elbow and the BBC Concert Orchestra - The Seldom Seen Kid Live at Abbey Road
Elbow - Asleep In The Back
Elbow - Cast Of Thousands
Elbow - Leaders Of The Free World
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid

Now, if I cd into "Elbow" and do this:
$ls E<TAB>
it will yiels this:
$ls Elbow\[space]

TAB'ing further does nothing, entering more of a foldername and TAB'ing to my hearts delight yields nothing either

My memory might be weak, but if I am completly mistaken, this did use to work earlier?

Cheers

Maybe Fedora doesn't have the same version ;)

Completing spaces has been broken in 1.0 and bash4, it has been fixed in 1.1.

Please wait until 1.1 lands into Squeeze, I'm working on a 1:1.1-2 release :)

Kindly,
David

Hi David!

You seem to have closed the wrong bug.

The second post by Rene was on a completely different thing, he posted
a follow up to the wrong bug.

Rene should have posted to bug 544024 ...

I revert the "fixed"

Heh, I was completely mislead -- thought it was a "new bug".

Regarding your bug, I can confirm it, will look on how to fix it.

Great, thanks!

Dear Maintainer,

the issue reported still exists -- i was playing around with a bunch of files which are all ZIP archives though with an arbitrary suffix other than .zip.
with none of the tools (file-roller or just unzip) did a file name complete although, given manually both were able to open the files.
as the OP wrote -- if nothing can be completed by the compeltion mechanism, jsut fall back and complete the files in the current directory.

Just use Alt-/, which is the default bash shortcut for "complete on all files".

Kindly,
David

Since the upstream commit

commit f7240b82a4d45f03b741f11b771fae17d3c1c713
Author: Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>
Date:   Fri May 11 23:28:57 2012 +0300

    make: Add generic variable completion.

this bug is fixed, although it was not marked as fixed when downstream
version 1:1.3-1 was uploaded.

I'm setting the fixed version to this bug report, then I'll close it.

If you haven't yet done so, I suggest you try it again and I hope it
works better for you, now.

Unless I did not understand how this variable works, I think it needs
an extra patch to work (at least in the unzip case reported above), as
reported in https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/pull/260

Current sources for this can be found at the new repository [1], but I
think that for the suggestion to actually work, it requires a fix,
which I submitted upstream as pull request #260 [2].

I'll wait for comments before closing this bug report.

Pull request #260 is now merged into the master branch, so I'll go
ahead and backport it for Debian.

Cool!!! Thanks a lot to dig out this old bug from 2009 - nearly 10 years
ago.
Very impressive, again thanks a lot.

All the best

No problem...  I'm reading through each of the bugs reported against
bash-completion, even very old ones.  I'm not sure how long it will
take to fix them all (definitely not for buster, unfortunately), but
hopefully not so long that people stop using it.

Please feel free to report other bugs (or reopen bugs that you think
have not been dealt with, correctly).  The bug reports help a whole
lot.  :)
