zsh tab-completion doesn't work

[dlion]

source hub.zsh_completion
_call_function:27: compstate: assignment to invalid subscript range

My version of zsh is

zsh 5.0.2 (x86_64-slackware-linux-gnu)

and my git/hub version are

git version 1.8.4
hub version 2.2.0-rc1

Thank you

Works here on zsh 5.0.5.
You might want to try upgrading your zsh and see if this fixes the issue.

@dlion
It's not meant to be sourced.
You need to copy / symlink it as _hub into your $fpath.
While at it, you might be interested in checking out an improved version from my PR #788.

It would be great if that were documented in the README, I was wondering the same thing.

@lorenzhs
Do you feel like providing a PR to fix / address this?
Also, have you tried my PR (#788)?

I have the exact same issue. A small explanation follows.

I had git autocompletion working. I added eval "$(hub alias -s)" to my .zshrc and even though doing something like git browse does work (writing all the characters that is) if I try something like git s<tab> I get the standard zsh file completion rather than git/hub specific. Also, in my $fpath I have the an _hub symlink. Any ideas what I might be missing?

I am using version zsh 5.0.7 and hub 2.2.0-g3ea5a9a.

if I try something like git s I get the standard zsh file completion rather than git/hub specific

Do you get this completion without the hub=git alias?
Do you have the COMPLETE_ALIASES zsh option set? (should not be set)

[nunoh]

If I remove the eval "$(hub alias -s)" from my .zshrc then I have git autocompletion working ok.
And no, I don't have that option set. Any idea?

@nunoh
hub alias -s is only alias git=hub, right?
You could try the _complete_debug widget (^X?), which should provide you with debugging output for completion.
Apart from that, my PR at #788 might also help.

@blueyed
I have only alias git=hub as alias. I ended up solving this issue in a different way, by copying the _hub completion file into a predefined folder in the $fpath. Thanks for your help anyway 🙇

[blueyed]

I think this issue can be closed: the completion script was not installed correctly in this case.

I'll leave another link to my pending PR to improve the Zsh completion: #788 :)

Closing as user config error. Thanks everyone!
