Autocomplete not working with aliases

[lidora-everc]

Checks

• I ran cw doctor in the affected command line session and it didn't resolve my issue
• I ran cw restart and it didn't resolve my issue
• I searched the discussions in this repo and there are no duplicates of my issue

Expected behaviour

I have aliases like:

k=kubecolor
kd='kubecolor describe'
keve=kubectl-events
kg='kubecolor get'
kgpow='kubecolor get po -w'
kl='kubecolor logs'
kns=kubens
kt=kubetail
ku='kubectl run -it --rm --restart=Never ubuntu --image=ubuntu bash'
kx=kubectx

I want that autocomplete suggestiions for all above command will be appear.

Actual behaviour

autocomplete for above aliases not working

Steps to reproduce

Using Same .zshrc file as i used with fig(and alias completions worked as well).

Weird... @grant0417 any ideas?

[grant0417]

@lidora-everc can you run alias and share the output? I'll try to see if there are any issues with the output, otherwise debugging will be more difficult.

[lazarjov]

Has this been solved? CW isn't working with my aliases either, even though fig works fine.

[Kaelten]

+1 I was about to open this issue as well. For me it's kube is an alias for kubectl Fig picked this up fine for me.

[grant0417]

If you are having an issue can you try typing in the terminal alias abc=cw and see if you get any suggestions?

[cytharubyscriptonrails]

still facing the same issue, unfortunately deleting the .zsh_history file has not helped

[LidorAbo]

Just a note:
@grant0417 @shazaman23 In bash is working as expected when i adding the relevant aliases to .bashrc file.
Also when i running bash from zsh and then running exit is working as expected from zsh

[emewjin]

There are no suggestions. zsh with iterm.

[shazaman23]

@LidorAbo Are you suggesting copying my aliases from .zshrc over to .bashrc? I'm not doing that.

[LidorAbo]

Yes @shazaman23, but than do the following:

1. Running bash from zsh session
2. Running exit command and autocomplete suggestions of alias will be working(for me at least)

[brendanfalk]

Hi all. As @grant0417 demoed above and you can see again in my screenshot below, we should be picking up all your aliases every time you go to a new line. e.g. I create an alias called "b" and then it's instantly available and showing me suggestions the next line.

Why would your aliases not show up?
It's likely something is interfering with our integration that runs when a new line starts (called our pre-prompt integration). This is usually because you have a shell plugin installed like an ohmyzsh plugin...

How can I solve it?
The issue is going to be somewhere in your .zshrc, .bashrc, .profile, or .zprofile. I suggest doing the following

1. Comment out everything in these files except the CodeWhisperer blocks at the top and bottom
2. Run cw restart and then open a new terminal session
3. If aliases start working, great! Now slowly uncommenting lines and repeat step 2 and 3 until it stops working

[LidorAbo]

Try that @brendanfalk , thanks.

[NoirVoider]

I have the same problem.

[brendanfalk]

Hey @NoirVoider did you try the issue above?

[NoirVoider]

Yes, I used oh-my-zsh. How to solve it?

[omerap12]

Asking too, did anyone find the solution?

[deemsang]

same problem. not working when I have source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh in .zshrc

[ViaxCo]

@brendanfalk Commenting that line solves it for me too. I don't think this is a solution.

[omerap12]

Tried it too.. didn't work.

[grant0417]

Can you share you oh-my-zsh config?

[carlitos081]

Same here, all was working with Fig, just switched to cw and now the alias do not work

[grant0417]

Do you use ohmyzsh or any other shell plugins?

[ilanbol]

same with me

[brendanfalk]

Acknowledging this new surge of issues. We are investigating and will revert back asap. In the meantime please see my comment further above

[Kaelten]

This issue, combined with general slowness and orphaned zsh processes, has led me to reverting back to using fig. I hope this is fixed before fig is sunsetted in September as things sit right now CW is not a production ready replacement.

[brendanfalk]

Hi everyone, an update. We still believe that the issue is due to some conflict with a 3rd party plugin (potentially ohmyzsh). To help us resolve, could everyone facing this issue please do the following:

1. Go to your .zshrc
2. Comment out all the code between the CodeWhisperer blocks (first line and last line)
3. Open a new shell
4. See if completions for aliases work
   5.a If yes, keep selectively uncommenting code in your .zshrc and opening a new shell session to try to work out the offending line. When you work out the bad line, please comment it below
   5.b if no, grrrr please email [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] and we will get on a call to help you resolve

[NoirVoider]

Do we need to abandon the use of ohmyzsh? I hope I can manually configure aliases like fig.

[ilanbol]

I found the issue.
if you remark in your .zshrc the line:
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

it will start to work

$ZSH is $HOEM/.oh-my-zsh

the problematic script there - oh-my-zsh.sh

[snir-israeli]

If we don't source oh-my-zsh then we cannot utilize it, isn't it? regardless, I try to remark it but I still don't get completions for aliases (like git aliases for example)

[ilanbol]

right, and my comment was to pinpoint to where the problem is . . .
anyway, it seem that the issue reside in othere places according to your comment.

In my case, I drill down and verify that the issue is in one of the config scripts in $HOME/.oh-my-zsh/lib, where oh-my-zsh.sh try to load during initilizing

[nlvedwin]

based on my testing this lines are the problem if you remove them it will work again but you're terminal will look ugly

plugins=(git)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

[ElliottCuvelier]

I just did some more digging by commenting each line of the oh-my-zsh.sh until it stopped working.
It seems that the issue was with the following part of the code:

# Load all of the lib files in ~/oh-my-zsh/lib that end in .zsh
# TIP: Add files you don't want in git to .gitignore
for lib_file ("$ZSH"/lib/*.zsh); do
  _omz_source "lib/${lib_file:t}"
done
unset lib_file

So I went into the /lib folder and removed all of the files and started adding again 1 by 1.
The culprit seems to be directories.zsh.

setopt auto_cd
setopt auto_pushd
setopt pushd_ignore_dups
setopt pushdminus

}

alias l='ls -lah'
alias ll='ls -lh'

@brendanfalk any idea why this might be causing an issue?

[ElliottCuvelier]

This alias alias -- -='cd -' is the one breaking cw alias completion

[omerap12]

yeap @ElliottCuvelier that was the one. thanks!

[ElliottCuvelier]

Or you could also just comment the alias that is causing the issue, but I think that both of this fixes will be reverted if there is an auto update of omz

[grant0417]

Thank you so much for debugging this! This will be fixed in the next release.

A quick fix is removing any alias that starts with a -

Details on why this was happening:

The issues was when we ran the alias command due to the sort order the first character was -.

The way we get aliases is running a shell command in your dotfiles that loads the commands: cw _ pre-cmd --alias "$(\alias)"

Using clap there is an option to allow arguments to start with a hyphen which was not enabled and thus the command failed: https://docs.rs/clap/latest/clap/struct.Arg.html#method.allow_hyphen_values
