Package: timewarrior
Version: 1.4.3+ds.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear fellow Debian Developer,
bash completion is broken for tags with a description:
```console
$ mv ~/.timewarrior ~/.timewarrior.private
$ timew start foo
Create new database in ~/.timewarrior? (yes/no) yes
...
$ timew start bar
...
$ timew config tags.foo.description "some description"
Are you sure you want to add 'tags.foo.description' with a value of 'some
description'? (yes/no) yes
Config file ~/.timewarrior/timewarrior.cfg modified.
$ timew tags | cat
Tag Description
--- ----------------
bar -
foo some description
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$ timew tag @1 <Tab><Tab>
bar foo\ some\ description
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
This is caused by /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/timew:43-46
43 function __get_tags()
44 {
45 timew tags | tail -n +4 -- | sed -e "s|[[:space:]]*-$||"
46 }
which assumes that a line is always terminated by a dash, but that is
only true for tags having NO description. Sadly there doesn't seem to be
a command to only get the tag names.
```console
$ timew tag @1 SomeVeryLongTag\ with\ spaces
Note: '"SomeVeryLongTag with spaces"' is a new tag.
Added SomeVeryLongTag with spaces to @1
$ timew tags | cat
Tag Description
--------------------------- ----------------
SomeVeryLongTag with spaces -
bar -
foo some description
```
Maybe the following line can be used:
```
timew tags | nawk 'NR==3 {w=length($1)} NR>=4 {print
gensub(/[[:space:]]+$/,"",1,substr($0,0,w))}'
```
Upstream already changed the code to looke like this:
```sh
function __get_tags()
{
timew get dom.tracked.tags "${TIMEW_COMPLETION_TAGS_RANGE:-":all"}"
}
```

<https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior/commit/9c49d4df2de121d1b68fef0f7b6be906ab962218>
But that code is broken for "tags with spaces" as spaces are also used
to seperate multiple tags from each other:
```console
$ timew get dom.tracked.tags :all | xxd
00000000: 536f 6d65 5665 7279 4c6f 6e67 5461 6720 SomeVeryLongTag
^^
00000010: 7769 7468 2073 7061 6365 7320 6261 7220 with spaces bar
^^ ^^
00000020: 666f 6f0a foo.
```
