Subject: file completion of ~user/... stats wrong directory
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 13:53:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19030.11925.370937.608524@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)
Hi,
In looking into some completion anomalies, I've noticed that strace
output shows it stat'ing the wrong path when you are completing a path
that starts with ~user/..
If you complete ~user/foo/bar, you see it stat the paths "foo/bar" and
then "foo" relative to the current directory. This seems broken; even
if those paths exist relative to the current directory, it is
irrelevant to completing under ~user. It seems to recover in most
cases and generate the right completions despite this, the only
problem this seems to be causing is with our netapp's .snapshot
directories.
Looking at _path_files, I'm guessing it has something to do with
setting prepaths=( '' ) in the logic dealing with ~ prefixed strings.
But I don't understand what prepaths is supposed to be doing. It
worries me a bit that it is set to that same value in a number of
other cases. Maybe it should be setting prepaths=() instead?
I'm running out of a nearly up-to-date cvs checkout (_path_files is
up to date at least).
thanks,
Greg
