tab completion doesn't work

[yakir12]

for me. I tried jlpkg --project= and then <TAB> inside a folder with a toml file, but nada. I tried a few other obvious things, but alas. I have jlpkg v1.3.2 installed (via Julia, not the tarball). I already have bash-completion installed, or is that the problem?

Do any completions work or is it specifically after --project?

[yakir12]

No, none of the examples you gave in the Discourse post work.

[fredrikekre]

Then it seems like it didn't install correctly. Can you check if you have something like this

# Bash completion for jlpkg
if [[ -f ~/.bash_completion.d/jlpkg-completion.bash ]]; then
    . ~/.bash_completion.d/jlpkg-completion.bash
fi

in your bashrc file for example? And that the file ~/.bash_completion.d/jlpkg-completion.bash exists.

[yakir12]

I don't have that file. Wait, installing this changes my bashrc? I just added .julia/bin to my path in my bashrc.

[fredrikekre]

The completions is a separate thing; jlpkg.install_completion.

facepalm, as explained here:

sorry for the noise and thank you for the package!
