Autocomplete functionality has been added.

Comment 5 Petr Kremensky 2013-09-23 15:54:10 UTC

Tilde character ('~') is wrongly extended to "home/" instead of ${HOME}

Comment 6 Miles Tjandrawidjaja 2013-09-30 13:47:07 UTC

Hello, could you please, explain how you produced this. The tilde should be replaced by your $HOME environment variable. Please confirm that the $HOME variables is not set to /home. Thank you.

Comment 7 Petr Kremensky 2013-09-30 14:52:43 UTC

Hi, I found what went wrong. If I enter only tilde and hit the tab key, tilde is replaced by "home/". Is this correct behaviour? Thanks.

Comment 8 Miles Tjandrawidjaja 2013-09-30 18:37:49 UTC

Hello,

The autocomplete feature is implemented through the jline library version 0.9.94.
I took a look at the source and this is the intended behaviour. (See Below)

if (translated.startsWith("~" + File.separator)) {
    translated = System.getProperty("user.home")
                 + translated.substring(1);
} else if (translated.startsWith("~")) {
    translated = new File(System.getProperty("user.home")).getParentFile()
                                                          .getAbsolutePath();
} else if (!(translated.startsWith(File.separator))) {
    translated = new File("").getAbsolutePath() + File.separator
                 + translated;
}

Your home directory should be correctly displayed if you try to tab complete with "~/" instead of "~". The jline dependency comes from brew so applying a patch to this may have bad side effects. If it's necessary maybe we could build our own version of jline to meet this need. Let me know, thanks.

Hi Miles,
I don't think that is really needed. Thanks for clarification. Returning to previous state.
