command not found : complete when using bash completion

[osaris]

Hello,

I have added the code for completion in my .bash_profile file and when I source it, I have the following error :

rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p598/gems/lunchy-0.10.1/lib/../extras/lunchy-completion.bash:18: command not found: complete

Looks like the command used there

lunchy/extras/lunchy-completion.bash

Line 18 in 5640b8a

complete -F _lunchy -o default lunchy

isn't available on my system (OSX 10.10.4).

Thanks for your help.

Are you using bash as your shell? If not, this completion script won't help and you should probably leave it out of your profile/bashrc.

If you are using bash, do you have bash_completion installed?
If not, or you can try installing it via homebrew.

You can check to see if bash_completion is available (assuming you have homebrew).

brew list

you should see bash_completion in the list. If not then install it

brew install bash_completion

Then restart your terminal and see if that works.

If you get this far and things are still not working, let us know and we'll try to get it figured out. Please include the version of bash, the list of brew packages.

My bad, I'm using zsh :-( Thanks for your quick answer.

[bunnymatic]

i don't know how zsh completion works, but it seems like there must be a mechanism. If you'd like to write a completion script, we'd be happy to roll it in.

[osaris]

zsh have a bash completion script compatibility mode, you need to run :

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit

before sourcing the bash completion file. I have tested it and it works partially (listing the lunchy command is ok but not listing of the plist files).

I'll investigate and try to find a solution to have a working completion for ZSH.

Proposal in #59

[eddiezane]

Closed via #59

[ivanyang1984]

that is cool!

[secbitchris]

Is there a workaround for ZSH yet?

[bunnymatic]

Have you tried the latest? It looks like that has been solved by #3236 (referenced above). Try installing the latest version, follow the zsh completion instructions and see if that works.

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
I tried this, but it didn't work for me.

For those who were not able to make it work, just paste those two lines in your ~/.zshrc file right before the source filethathascompletion.bash line

[Tcharl]

At the end of the zshrc ^^. Putting it on the beginning does not fix the issue

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit

On top of .zshrc works! 👍

[chrispruitt]

this is the only thing that worked for me.
got it from here https://github.com/creationix/nvm/pull/1780/files

added this to the top of my .zshrc

autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit
autoload -U +X compinit && compinit

autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit
autoload -U +X compinit && compinit

This for sure worked!

autoload bashcompinit && bashcompinit
The same principle, this method will be more concise

This doesn't work for me on macOS 14.2. Neither at the top, nor at the bottom of .zshrc.
