PLEASE IGNORE MY PREVIOUS POST (Due to temporary brain power failure, I had swapped the args to file-name-all-completions, so the reported ERROR/OK was swapped too).
THIS IS THE PROPER BUG REPORT. I'm trying to make ido work sensibly with tramp syntax -- but getting a grip on file-name-all-completions is really a nightmare. Ido uses file-name-all-completions to get a list of all possible completions of "the next component" to be entered by the user. Now, consider these tramp file name: /method:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/file /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/file /host:/file Ideally, ido would like to call file-name-all-completions like this: (file-name-all-completions "" "/method:") (file-name-all-completions "" "/method:user@") (file-name-all-completions "" "/method:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:") (file-name-all-completions "" "/method:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/file") (file-name-all-completions "" "/user@") (file-name-all-completions "" "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:") (file-name-all-completions "" "/host:") However, this does not always work -- look at these examples: ======== (file-name-all-completions "" "/telnet:") => ERROR: "Login Failed" Swapping the args works: (file-name-all-completions "/telnet:" "") => OK ======== (file-name-all-completions "" "/telnet:kfs@") => ERROR: Login Failed The desired result can be obtained with this call (swap args, remove leading / of first arg, add / to second arg): (file-name-all-completions "telnet:kfs@" "/") => OK ======== (file-name-all-completions "" "/telnet:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:") => OK ======== (file-name-all-completions "" "/telnet:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp") => OK ======== (file-name-all-completions "" "/kfs@") => (file-error "Opening directory" "no such file or directory" "/kfs@") Swapping the args works: (file-name-all-completions "/kfs@" "") => OK ======== (file-name-all-completions "" "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:") => OK ======== (file-name-all-completions "" "/localhost:") => OK ======== I have made ido adapt to all these strange rules, but it is not very nice -- and I have to know whether /xxx: is a method or a host, since: (file-name-all-completions "" "/localhost:") => OK (file-name-all-completions "" "/telnet:") => ERROR (file-name-all-completions "/telnet:" "") => OK Emacs : GNU Emacs 22.0.50.54 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2005-10-14 on kfs-l.imdomain.dk Package: tramp (2.0.51) -- Kim F.
