Error on terminal startup: compdump:107: bad pattern

[kennedyjosh]

I'm using zsh 5.8.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin21.0), python 3.10, argcomplete 2.0.0

My ~/.zshrc:

# a bunch of aliases which I haven't pasted here

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/erlang@24/bin:$PATH"

# for git autocompletion
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26462667/git-completion-not-working-in-zsh-on-os-x-yosemite-with-homebrew
autoload -U compinit && compinit
zmodload -i zsh/complist
fpath=(~/.zsh/ $fpath)

# for h script autocompletion
autoload -U bashcompinit && bashcompinit
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete --external-argcomplete-script /Users/josh/Code/server/h h)"

When I source this (or spawn a new terminal), I get a large error:

This only happened after I added the last two lines to my zshrc. Autocomplete works as expected with my script – but this error is really large and annoying to happen every time I open a new window.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this might be due to the function _python_argcomplete_ ending with my script's path, which includes / chars. I looked at the line in compdump throwing the error and compared it from a working state to a broken state, and this was one of the only differences (besides the other _python_argcomplete_* functions)

Don't really have much more time to look into it currently but would greatly appreciate a fix.

We're already replacing / with _ for fish, perhaps we should apply a similar change to all shells?
