Hi, I recently started to use fishfish... I'm a bzr user (but
obviously also an hg and git one) and I read a previous mail about it
(I cannot reply to it since I wasn't subscribed to the list at the
time)
>From the homepage, I assumed that the completion was done by reading
the man pages on the fly... by looking into it I found out that
actually there's the fish_update_completions builtin function to be
called manually
if you run it though, it'll create new completions for git: the
problem is, those completions don't work
out of curiosity, to see if it was feasible to adapt the mercurial
completions for bazaar, I found out about the make_vcs_completions in
the fishfish sources
first thing: if some programs are already known to be better served by
some other completions (like the ones for which the completions are
generated with such a script), shouldn't it be better if
fish_update_completions blacklisted git, hg, svn and such programs?
btw, I then tried to use make_vcs_completions to generate bzr
completions... but I got lots of errors like:
fish: path_get_path( 'bzr' )
bzr: ERROR: No help could be found for 'bzr'. Please use 'bzr help
topics' to obtain a list of topics.
fish: proc::read_try('bzr $argv; ')
I tried to run it with "fish -d 3" but I can't understand what is
going wrong... I also looked at the make_vcs_completions script
itself, by checking it step by step and adding echo statements, but I
got lost after line 100, when it seems that it's using a more-than-70
lines long string substitution (or at least, that unmatched single
quote seems to be doing that)
should make_vcs_completions be rewritten? (it's 2 years old)
what is the best approach to get some nice autocompletion for bzr?
other people interested out there?
should some of this be reported as an issue on github?
