Zsh-autocomplete not working once I close terminal or start a new session

[rahulr8]

Describe the bug

Zsh-autocomplete works great for me in any given zsh session. But as soon as I open a new session (new terminal tab or restart terminal), none of my previous commands are available for me to auto-complete.

Machine - Mac M1

I installed using: git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions and in my .zshrc I have:

plugins=(zsh-autosuggestions)

source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

I've looked for the fix everywhere but noone seems to be having similar issues.

Have you seen the comments on #416?

Same problem here. I'm not using oh-my-zsh though, just source zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh in ~/.zshrc.

You need to add these two zsh file to your ~/.zshrc

source /PATH/TO/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh source /PATH/TO/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh

Same problem here. I'm not using oh-my-zsh though, just source zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh in ~/.zshrc.

For me, it is because the history file not set properly for zsh commands. Problem solved.
