Tab Completion doesn't work in Intellij

Tab Completion doesn't work in Intellij, is there anyway to make it work?

[niklasastrom]

@mtj8033 I recently figured out the same, did you get it to work?

[mtj8033]

Nope never got it working

[dbrimley]

+1 to get this fixed

Without looking into anything, isn't this something that would fall on JetBrains, and not Spring Shell? When launching a Spring Shell app in Intellij, the terminal is not available. You may notice the output:

org.jline : Unable to create a system terminal, creating a dumb terminal (enable debug logging for more information)

This to me seems like an issue on Intellij's side since the output from the Debug or Run execution isn't in an actual terminal.

@mtj8033 Just curious, does this work in Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite?

Just checked and Eclipse has the same issue.

it only works if I start my application with java -jar, not in Eclipse.
I also didn't find a way to make it work. :-(

I wrote a small script that makes mvn clean install and executes the result with java -jar

We're doing housekeeping in issues and closing ones which are potentially stale due to recent changes in a project. We are now more up to date with Spring Boot starting with release 2.1.0 and work in 3.x making shell compatible with Spring Framework 6 and Spring Boot 3.

If you think issue should not have been closed, try to re-open or open a new issue with updated info.

Can confirm this remains an issue with Spring Shell v2.1.1 and IntelliJ 2022.

Does not work in Spring Shell 3.0.1 and IntelliJ 2023.1.3
I get org.jline : Unable to create a system terminal, creating a dumb terminal

Hi , have you solved the problem?

I just ran into this issue while running in a Docker container via docker exec -it my-container bash and then running the spring-shell (2.1.12) application. After enabling DEBUG, I get

Bash autocompletion works just fine in this shell.
