Package: fish
Version: 2.4.0-1
I am writing a function to change to a directory below the current working
directory, and I am hitting a brick wall with fish from Jessie backports
(2.2.0-3~bpo8+1) and Stretch (2.4.0-1). The function is as follows (saved
as ~/.config/fish/functions/cdb.fish):
function cdb
complete -c cd -r -a "(find -type d -name "$argv" -not -path
'*/\.*' -prune)";
end
So after "funcsave cdb", I try it with a same directory name and it
silently exits with no action taken.
I debugged to the point that the find command by itself works (returns the
directory). After consulting the fish documentation[1], I found out you
can test complete commands at the terminal. So I tried again with:
complete -c cd -r -a "(find -type d -name "github" -not -path '*/\.*'
-prune)"
...still, no action taken.
While I was in the documentation, I tried a stock example:
complete -x -c su -d "Username" -a "(cat /etc/passwd | cut -d : -f 1)"
Even with that, no choices, nothing executed. Running complete without
parameters provides a list of saved examples.
Running Debian Stretch on my desktop (uname follows below), and Jessie on
my laptop.
