Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Ville Skyttä (scop-guest) Assigned to: David Paleino (hanska-guest) Summary: _get_cword ignores optional arg, scp host:path completion broken with bash 4 Distribution: None Originally reported in: Fedora / Red Hat Bugzilla Milestone: None Status: None Original bug number: 502745 Initial Comment: http://git.debian.org/?p=bash-completion/bash-completion.git;a=commitdiff;h=f6497298a4422ac236cfd10ddc05b3ace3961a27 This commit changes _get_cword so that it no longer does what it is documented to do; the optional argument (see comments in code) is ignored by the new implementation. The commit message "fixed _get_cword()" does not tell much what was wrong with the original version and since it was pretty much completely rewritten it's hard to guess; David, do you remember any details? Was ignoring the optional argument an oversight? Current _get_cword does not play nice with scp completion and bash 4 - some splitting occurs after the colon in hostname:path causing path gets completed locally. I do not observe this problem with bash 3.2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502745#c2 If I revert _get_cword to what it was before this commit, it appears to do the right thing with scp completion and bash 4 (can only partially test at the moment, no real scp available in my limited bash 4 test env, and I haven't tested the reverted version with bash 3.x). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeremy Olexa (darkside-guest) Date: 2009-10-16 02:13 Message: scp remote path completion is still broken in bash-completion-1.1 with bash-4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Paleino (hanska-guest) Date: 2009-05-27 17:11 Message: Hello Ville, no, I can't really remember what was wrong with the old implementation of _get_cword. Maybe the reverted version didn't play nice with 3.x? I'm currently unable to do any commit (not posting from my computer) :( Sorry, David ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=311702&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
