HI everyone,

Messages when doing tab completion:  (see subject line)

Disribution: devaun
Distribution zsh version: 5.8 --  at last check, still hasn't upgraded to
5.8.1 or 5.9
Local built versions:  zsh-5.8.1-0-g1a490c7, zsh-5.9-0-g73d3173,
zsh-5.9-31-g7996fa5

After login, zsh version 5.8:
  switching to 5.8.1:  NO MESSAGES   (% zsh-5.8.1)
  switching from either 5.8 or 5.8.1 to 5.9* GET MESSAGE  (% zsh-5.9 | %
zsh-5.9-31-dev)

After defaulting zsh to locally built version 5.9:
  switching to the development version  NO MESSAGES  (% zsh-5.9-31-dev)

  switching back to either  5.8 or 5.8.1:  NEW MESSAGES(see below)
   in this case tested both the system and locally built 5.8 version

    (eval):setopt:3: no such option: NO_typesettounset
    _arguments:comparguments:411: too many arguments
    _description:zformat:89: invalid option: -F

NOTE:  the completion still happens(hitting tab again), just get messages

QUESTION:
  Is this a bug, or has something changed with the builds that I didn't
catch?

Regards,

Jim Murphy

Please try the following:

% /path/to/zsh -f
% autoload -Uz compinit
% compinit
% echo $fpath
% cmd <TAB>

If this works OK then I guess something is wrong with your fpath/FPATH.

When using zsh-$version ($version is 5.9, 5.9.0-dev,..), fpath must include
$prefix/share/zsh/$version/functions/
This is version specific, and it is not a good idea to export FPATH.

If you have 'export FPATH' or such in your .zshrc/.zshenv then just remove it.

Sorry, if FPATH is exported then it is inherited by the child
zsh even if it is started with option -f. So the above will not work.

You can check whether FPATH is exported of not by

% typeset -p FPATH

If it shows 'export ...' then it is exported. You can 'un-export' it
by 'typeset +x FPATH'. So you may try

% typeset +x FPATH
% /path/to/zsh
% echo $fpath
% cmd <TAB>

Sorry, as soon as I saw "if FPATH is exported"  I figured out what was
happening.

My .zshrc file makes sure FPATH is exported.  This is because some
scripts/functions I
wrote failed if FPATH wasn't exported. So, I export it all the time. I
didn't consider what
this would do when switching shells.

I now have the following aliases:

  alias swshell='[[ $parameters[FPATH] == *export* ]] && typeset +x FPATH ;
'
  alias xportfpath='[[ $parameters[FPATH] == *export* ]] || typeset -x
FPATH'

Solved.  Sorry for the noise.

Thanks for you response,

Jim
