Pass bash completion does not work with the otp command

[ghost]

Hi,

Pass bash completion does not work when using the otp command in Ubuntu (with other non pass-otp commands it does work).

I am using pass v1.7 and pass-otp v1.0.0.

Thanks

I wouldn't expect it to work unless the completion function was extension-aware, and it's not.

I'd report this as a general issue to the pass mailing list, as there's nothing this project can do to enable completion without support from upstream.

Could we modify the installation procedure to edit the bash completion information provided by upstream? It seems a sed of that file could get us the completion, unless we can get upstream to support generalized plugin completion somehow.

This would require us to do some level of integration testing against new versions of pass though in case this file changed and broke the sed.

No, I'm not going to modify files packaged by another application.

I'll work on generalizing completion in pass itself.

Just linking the corresponding issues of other extensions: https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-update/issues/9 and https://github.com/palortoff/pass-extension-tail/issues/4

I'm vote for this iussue...pass-extension-tail have found a solution for this, see here https://github.com/palortoff/pass-extension-tail/blob/master/completion/pass-tail.bash.completion

Hey @tadfisher !

I'm wondering if you made any progress in generalizing completion in pass as you mentioned last year in your comment?

The thing that drives me nuts with pass otp is the lack of tab completion!

Looks like the bash completion added in 1.7.3 needs to be updated as the extension method isn't working. I see a patch proposed from Feb 2 on the mailing list but no action, so I bumpted it.

This now seems to be possible:

• https://github.com/palortoff/pass-extension-tail/issues/4#issuecomment-417101895
• https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-update/commit/e81139302fd7597393e39e56742b00440482f4e4

@tadfisher You haven't been active in a long time (in regards to pass-otp), what should we do going forward?

• Give merge access to someone else? So that at least PRs can get through.?
• Should we fork?

[bexelbie]

Perhaps we can add more committers @tadfisher ?

This is still broken I think? I'll source the otp completion manually for now but would be cool if this just worked!

Is this task dead?

The bash completion is still missing in pass-otp...

I've just created a pull-request for pass itself https://github.com/zx2c4/password-store/pull/5
