Subject: _complete_help fails in some contexts
Date: Fri, 7 May 2021 14:53:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAH+w=7bi-MD-=YF4u_9=mWNKgVKUbvGrKEEitj_k1TW9_=4FMg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
This occurs for example when pressing ^Xh immediately after:
% : ${()
In this specific case it seems to be because _parameters never calls
_describe, so never goes through the _tags loop, which _complete_help
relies upon to populate its results. It calls _description directly
(instead?).
On cursory inspection, most completion functions do one of: call
_describe; call both _tags and _description; or call _description but
then call another function (such as _files) that does one of those
first two.
I haven't come up with a simple way to find examples other than
_parameters that never manage to call _tags at all.
