Subject: bash-completion: no longer completes files for vi

Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 21:05:07 +0200

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.3-3
Severity: important


This is a regression, it used to be possible to complete pretty much any
file. Now only directories are completed for vi, or some very unusual
files I don't have.

To fix this I had to comment out the line

complete -f -X
'*.@(o|so|so.!(conf)|a|[rs]pm|gif|jp?(e)g|mp6|mp?(e)g|avi|asf|ogg|class)'
vi vim gvim rvim view rview rgvim rgview gview emacs xemacs sxemacs kate
kwrite

I am not sure what it is supposed to do but it definitely breaks editor
completion making them totally unusable from bash.

"vi" completes on practically anything here.

That line is supposed to *exclude* those files from being completed (so that,
if you have a foo.gif, it doesn't appear as a completion for those commands).

Can you please do a 'set -x', then 'vi <TAB>', and copy-paste the output here?

Thanks,
David

Ugh, I'm thinking about acroread. Do you have its completion
in /etc/bash_completion.d/ ? If yes, does removing it fix the bug?

Thanks,
David

(maybe we really urge blacklisting acroread :D)

No, I don't have that file.

Below is the completion output.

Ok.

Aha! It's that "!file" that breaks the completion. I'm confirming the bug now.

Control: tags -1 = unreproducible

It looks like the bug is gone, so I'm setting it to unreproducible.
After some time, if no one oposes, I'll close it.

  $ ls
  '!'   file1   file2   file3
  $ vi file
  file1  file2  file3
