After this commit: 6529dfa49bdc1cc0098ec4bfa16b0d5497a93d25 (Refactor precmd hooks)
Just on loading zsh getting this:

.autocomplete.key-binding.precmd:2: command not found: .autocomplete.key
"complete-word" undefined-key
"complete-word" undefined-key

I am unable to reproduce this.

Do you get the same problem when you do the following?

$ cd $(mktemp -d)  # Create a temp dir and enter it.
$ ZDOTDIR=$PWD HOME=$PWD zsh -f  # Start a subshell in it without config files.
% source path/to/zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh  # Source the plugin.

If not, then

• A) there is something else in your .zshrc file that's interfering or
• B) there is a caching problem.

The latter can be fixed by deleting $_comp_dumpfile.

I've reduced the .zshrc to minimum, and also tried to remove $_comp_dumpfile, as suggested.
Same error if use zplug manager but if clone/source zsh-autocomplete manually - no errors.

So it happens to be following inconsistency:

• Installation of your plugin requres 3) Remove any calls to compinit from your ~/.zshrc file
• But at the same time zplug runs compinit on its loading (it can be shown when load it with zplug load --verbose option in .zshrc)

But it seems to work fine (at first sight) when sourcing zsh-autocomplete manually (before source ~/.zplug/init.zsh), while left other plugins managed by zplug. So switched to this for now.

[marlonrichert]

Fixed.

[BeforeFlight]

Confirm. No previous errors shown.

It happened to me. I am also using Zinit plugin manager, but my error text is slightly longer:

.autocomplete.key-binding.precmd:3: .autocomplete.key: function definition file not found
"complete-word" undefined-key
"complete-word" undefined-key
"complete-word" undefined-key
"complete-word" undefined-key
"accept-line" undefined-key
"send-break" undefined-key

Edit: looks like it's an issue with NixOS, because it adds its own compinit call. Manually sourcing zsh-autocomplete in packages.zsh.initExtraBeforeCompInit section in home.nix works.

This appears to be a regression introduced by 68bae95.

[marlonrichert]

Should be fixed now.

[flexagoon]

Doesn't help. Here's my .zsh config:

Oh wait, nvm, I just forgot to run zplug update. Thanks!
