Default to normal completion

[polothy]

Hi there,

I love this innovative bundle, thank you!

One thing though that I didn't like about the autocomplete though, is that once you started to autocomplete with files/directories, it wouldn't end the autocomplete with a forward slash, but rather with a space. This made if very difficult to autocomplete down a directory tree.

You can actually accomplish default autocompletion very easily. Just change your complete command from the above comment at the end of the bash script. You also need to "return 1" like so:

    if [[ ${COMP_CWORD} > 1 ]] ; then
        case "${cur}" in
            --*)
                COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "$(${cmd} autocomplete ${COMP_WORDS[1]})" -- ${cur}) )
                return 0
                ;;
            *)
                return 1
                ;;
        esac
    fi

@mrmark, I checked this solution and it don't work for me.

If I add "return 1" to symfony2-completion.bash
./app/console assets:install w[Tab] => ./app/console assets:install w (no result)

And default symfony2-completion.bash
./app/console assets:install w[Tab] => ./app/console assets:install web (dirname autocomplite)

You have to add the "return 1" and you must also add the "-o default" option to the complete commands like so:

complete -o default -F _console console 
complete -o default -F _console Symfony

Basically, the "return 1" tells the complete command to fallback to default bash completion (set with the "-o default").

Sorry, I don't think I made that all very clear in my report.

wow! now it works fine
./app/console assets:install w[Tab] => ./app/console assets:install web/ (dirname autocomplite without space after dirname)

thank you ;)

could you do a Pull Request? this changes must be merged

Great idea !
I installed it and it does the autocompletion in most cases. But when I do ./app/console cache:c[TAB] it does not complete and adds a 'TAB' (white space, ./app/console cache:c ) and does not display completion list as expected. It gets kind of 'hanged', I cannot use backspace key to delete anything. I am using Ubuntu 10.10.
I think the changes indicacted by @mrmark are already in the file I installed.

maybe
my pull request for this issue was merged #17

I have compared.
The version I have includes your pull request. But it still behaves like what was described before your patch.
