This PR enables completion providers to work with pseudoterminal-based terminals that don't have a defined shell type. Previously, these terminals were completely blocked from using custom completion providers due to an early return when
shellType
was undefined.Problem
The issue was in
terminalSuggestAddon.ts
where completion requests would return early ifshellType
was undefined:This prevented pseudoterminal-based terminals (like those created by extensions) from using any completion providers, even those that don't require a specific shell type.
Solution
1. Remove Early Return for Undefined Shell Type
await this._shellTypeInit
to wait for shell type initialization when possibleshellType
is undefined2. Update Completion Service to Handle Undefined Shell Types
ITerminalCompletionService.provideCompletions()
to acceptTerminalShellType | undefined
3. Fix Telemetry Reporting
shellType
to be defined before reporting telemetrygetFirstShown()
andupdateShown()
methods to handle undefined shell types gracefullyBehavior Changes
Before: Pseudoterminal-based terminals (shellType = undefined) could not use any completion providers
After:
shellTypes
restrictions work with all terminals (including pseudoterminals)shellTypes
work when shellType matches OR is undefinedTesting
Added comprehensive tests to validate the provider filtering logic:
This change enables extension-provided completion providers to work with pseudoterminal-based terminals while maintaining all existing functionality.
Fixes #253011.
