todo delete auto-completing to todo delete -f (and then automatically runs)

[zebak12]

When writing todo del and then press tab, this appears:

todo del......Error: no such option: -f
Error: no such option: -f
Error: no such option: -f

I am running zsh PS: I have enabled those dots (......) while loading auto-completion

[untitaker]

I don't understand, todoman doesn't offer tab-completion, or does it @hobarrera?

[WhyNotHugo]

Nope, nor todoman, nor the AUR package. What distribution is this, @zebak12 ? Do you know where the auto-completion is coming from?

[zebak12]

I'm sorry for the late reply as I had been out of station for a while!

Regarding the distribution, I am using zsh on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 64-bit

[untitaker]

This appears to be an issue with zsh (or an extension), not todoman, though I have no idea what exactly is happening. I can't tell you anything else than to avoid hitting tab.

[WhyNotHugo]

FWIW, the Arch package for zsh, has autocompletion for some other app named todo (from todo.sh, apparently, and not in the base repos though).

[untitaker]

I was actually wondering if todoman's binary name might not be a bit too generic.

[WhyNotHugo]

On arch, no package provides /usr/bin/t nor /usr/bin/td. I like the binary name, TBH, since it's clear, short and descriptive.

[untitaker]

t is already taken by a Twitter client in AUR. I'd rather go for todoman and let people alias it.

Oh! Thanks @hobarrera

Yeah, that would be a great!

Okay to close this?

[untitaker]

Yes I think so

However, I do think we should rename the binary such that it doesn't conflict with todo.txt

Hello everyone,

I am not sure if this is the same thing, but I can reproduce a somewhat similar version of this issue:

$ todo <TAB>todo Usage: todo [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try "todo --help" for help.

Error: no such option: -f
Usage: todo [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try "todo --help" for help.

Error: no such option: -f
Usage: todo [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try "todo --help" for help.

Error: no such option: -f

My machine runs macOS - zsh on iTerm2. I have added the _todofile in /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions.

Also, one it's done printing the error message, it waits for input and I can write the command for todoman and it will run fine, for example:

$ todo Usage: todo [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try "todo --help" for help.

Error: no such option: -f
Usage: todo [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try "todo --help" for help.

Error: no such option: -f
Usage: todo [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try "todo --help" for help.

Error: no such option: -f
list
33  [ ]       in a day     mock_todo_item

I'm happy to provide any further information! I've been trying hard to not hit TAB, but that is super hard and it is keeps gets frustrating 😅, especially because (as you can see above) the error is thrown thrice.

P.S. Thanks for the wonderful tool! :-)

@RJ722 I had the same issue and at first assumed there is a conflicting completion provider also. It turned out it was a somehow corrupted completion database. For me it was enough to delete the ~/.zcompdump file and everything worked again.

[RJ722]

It's working again! \o/

Thank you so much @rtur! :-)

@untitaker @WhyNotHugo do you think it's worth documenting this?
