Description of problem: I am unable to use tab for filling paths on windows. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): EAP 6.2.0.ER3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start console installation 2. Accept EULA and try to enter some path using tab Actual results: "C:\" + tab: don't show any folders Expected results: "C:\" + tab: will show content of C:\ Additional info: "~\" + tab and "" + tab is working as expected
Jline has been modified so that "~" and "~/" expands to the users home directory. Autocomplete starting with "C:\" still does not work. If you like some autocompletion starting from the home directory use "~\". This will show the contents of your home directory and let you tab-complete.
I'll look into this once CR1 will be available. We can create BZ just for C:\ tab filling issue later targeting 6.3+ release.
Verified on EAP 6.2.0.CR1 installer. I'll create BZ just for path starting with driver letter in post-GA time.
You're right, paths with a drive letter are still not auto-completed, thing which was fixed here is that tilde '~' is now substituted with full path once user press the 'tab' key ( ~ -> 'tab' -> /home/pkremens ). On windows it is C:\Users\${username}. No problem Lucas, feel free to ask once there is anything unclear.
I agree with you that the name of issue is not reflecting the fix. I've changed the summary for the issue as you proposed. I'll create a new issue targeting 6.3 just for path starting with driver name, so we can document it as known issue. Fixed part is not related only to windows. On linux, tilde was expanded into home/ before (see bug 883419 comment 7), but you couldn't use tab to expand anymore from this location. With the fix, the tilde is expanded to /home/$user so you can still use tab for path filling.
