i have two problems noticed in F17 "dmesg <TAB><TAB>" -> "dmesg bash: cur: command not found" this happens for some commands after <TAB><TAB> [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ chkconfig bash: cur: Kommando nicht gefunden. bash: cur: Kommando nicht gefunden. [root@srv-rhsoft:/etc/yum.repos.d]$ scp fedorabash: cur: Kommando nicht gefunden. bash: configfile: Kommando nicht gefunden. _____________________________ [root@rh:~]$ ls messages lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-30 01:21 messages -> /var/log/messages [root@rh:~]$ cat messages Jun 13 16:13:04 rh kernel: warning: `growisofs' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use) [root@rh:~]$ > me why is this completion for empty a textfile no longer working? "cat mess<TAB><TAB>" still works
One bug per report, please. Let's look at dmesg first: before invoking the completion, do "set -x" in a shell, then invoke the completion and post/attach the resulting output here. Also, please make sure you're working in a clean environment (no bash_completion files explicitly sourced in your .bashrc or friends - that should be done only by /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh). Completion for ">" is broken due to a bash bug, already worked around upstream: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=bash-completion/bash-completion.git;a=commitdiff;h=6f3d650e2309feff4f3e80717409ebccb2d38362
the missing completion for "> mess" makes me crazy i have each day tons of half-named new files :-) what makes me wonder is that F16/F17 have the same version of bash-completion and F16 worked like a charme until upgrade to F17 [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ set -x ++ printf '\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007' harry srv-rhsoft '~' [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ dmesg + local compdir=./completions + [[ /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion == */* ]] + compdir=/usr/share/bash-completion/completions + . /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/dmesg + return 124 + [[ linux-gnu == *solaris* ]] + ssh -4 -2 -C -p 10022 root.net cur prev words cword bash: cur: Kommando nicht gefunden. + _init_completion + local exclude= flag outx errx inx OPTIND=1 + getopts n:e:o:i:s flag + COMPREPLY=() + local 'redir=@(?([0-9])<|?([0-9&])>?(>)|>&)' + _get_comp_words_by_ref -n '<>&' cur prev words cword + local exclude flag i OPTIND=1 + words=() + local cur cword words + upargs=() + upvars=() + local upargs upvars vcur vcword vprev vwords + getopts c:i:n:p:w: flag -n '<>&' cur prev words cword + case $flag in + exclude='<>&' + getopts c:i:n:p:w: flag -n '<>&' cur prev words cword + [[ 6 -ge 3 ]] + case ${!OPTIND} in + vcur=cur + let 'OPTIND += 1' + [[ 6 -ge 4 ]] + case ${!OPTIND} in + vprev=prev + let 'OPTIND += 1' + [[ 6 -ge 5 ]] + case ${!OPTIND} in + vwords=words + let 'OPTIND += 1' + [[ 6 -ge 6 ]] + case ${!OPTIND} in + vcword=cword + let 'OPTIND += 1' + [[ 6 -ge 7 ]] + __get_cword_at_cursor_by_ref '<>&' words cword cur + words=() + local cword words + __reassemble_comp_words_by_ref '<>&' words cword + local exclude i j line ref + [[ -n <>& ]] + exclude='<>&' + eval cword=1 ++ cword=1 + [[ -n <>& ]] + line='dmesg ' + (( i=0, j=0 )) + (( i < 2 )) + [[ 0 -gt 0 ]] + ref='words[0]' + eval 'words[0]=${!ref}${COMP_WORDS[i]}' ++ words[0]=dmesg + line=' ' + [[ 0 == 1 ]] + (( i++, j++ )) + (( i < 2 )) + [[ 1 -gt 0 ]] + [[ '' == +([<>&]) ]] + ref='words[1]' + eval 'words[1]=${!ref}${COMP_WORDS[i]}' ++ words[1]= + line=' ' + [[ 1 == 1 ]] + eval cword=1 ++ cword=1 + (( i++, j++ )) + (( i < 2 )) + local i cur index=6 'lead=dmesg ' + [[ 6 -gt 0 ]] + [[ -n dmesg ]] + [[ -n dmesg ]] + cur='dmesg ' + (( i = 0 )) + (( i <= cword )) + [[ 6 -ge 5 ]] + [[ dmesg != \d\m\e\s\g ]] + [[ 0 -lt 1 ]] + local old_size=6 + cur=' ' + local new_size=1 + index=1 + (( ++i )) + (( i <= cword )) + [[ 1 -ge 0 ]] + [[ '' != '' ]] + [[ 1 -lt 1 ]] + (( ++i )) + (( i <= cword )) + [[ -n ]] + [[ ! -n '' ]] + cur= + [[ 1 -lt 0 ]] + local words cword cur + _upvars -a2 words dmesg '' -v cword 1 -v cur '' + (( 10 )) + (( 10 )) + case $1 in + [[ -n 2 ]] + printf %d 2 + [[ -n words ]] + unset -v words + eval 'words=("${@:3:2}")' ++ words=("${@:3:2}") + shift 4 + (( 6 )) + case $1 in + [[ -n cword ]] + unset -v cword + eval 'cword="$3"' ++ cword=1 + shift 3 + (( 3 )) + case $1 in + [[ -n cur ]] + unset -v cur + eval 'cur="$3"' ++ cur= + shift 3 + (( 0 )) + [[ -n cur ]] + upvars+=("$vcur") + upargs+=(-v $vcur "$cur") + [[ -n cword ]] + upvars+=("$vcword") + upargs+=(-v $vcword "$cword") + [[ -n prev ]] + [[ 1 -ge 1 ]] + upvars+=("$vprev") + upargs+=(-v $vprev "${words[cword - 1]}") + [[ -n words ]] + upvars+=("$vwords") + upargs+=(-a${#words[@]} $vwords "${words[@]}") + (( 4 )) + local cur cword prev words + _upvars -v cur '' -v cword 1 -v prev dmesg -a2 words dmesg '' + (( 13 )) + (( 13 )) + case $1 in + [[ -n cur ]] + unset -v cur + eval 'cur="$3"' ++ cur= + shift 3 + (( 10 )) + case $1 in + [[ -n cword ]] + unset -v cword + eval 'cword="$3"' ++ cword=1 + shift 3 + (( 7 )) + case $1 in + [[ -n prev ]] + unset -v prev + eval 'prev="$3"' ++ prev=dmesg + shift 3 + (( 4 )) + case $1 in + [[ -n 2 ]] + printf %d 2 + [[ -n words ]] + unset -v words + eval 'words=("${@:3:2}")' ++ words=("${@:3:2}") + shift 4 + (( 0 )) + _variables + [[ '' =~ ^(\$\{?)([A-Za-z0-9_]*)$ ]] + return 1 + [[ '' == @(?([0-9])<|?([0-9&])>?(>)|>&)* ]] + [[ dmesg == @(?([0-9])<|?([0-9&])>?(>)|>&) ]] + local i skip + (( i=1 )) + (( i < 2 )) + [[ '' == @(?([0-9])<|?([0-9&])>?(>)|>&)* ]] + i=2 + (( 1 )) + (( i < 2 )) + [[ 1 -eq 0 ]] + prev=dmesg + [[ -n '' ]] + return 0 + case $prev in + [[ '' == -* ]]
(In reply to comment #2) > what makes me wonder is that F16/F17 have the same version of > bash-completion and F16 worked like a charme until upgrade to F17 As said there are bash bugs involved, and the bash version between F16 and F17 is different. > [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ set -x > ++ printf '\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007' harry srv-rhsoft '~' > [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ dmesg + local compdir=./completions > + [[ /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion == */* ]] > + compdir=/usr/share/bash-completion/completions > + . /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/dmesg > + return 124 > + [[ linux-gnu == *solaris* ]] > + ssh -4 -2 -C -p 10022 root.net cur prev words cword Wow, this is not at all what should happen. The two last lines for me are: + [[ linux-gnu == *solaris* ]] + local cur prev words cword You don't happen to have the command "local" aliased to "ssh -4 -2 -C -p 10022 root.net"?
i understood that well, but i saw this problem multiple times in rawhide-vms taht "> filename" was not completed and getting slowly tired of this > You don't happen to have the command > "local" aliased to "ssh -4 -2 -C -p 10022 root.net"? WTF - yes i had, i had this for years since "which local" did not say it was used anywhere - indeed this seems to be the problem i will come back here if it happens without this alias in other combinations THANK YOU!
