[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-6004) Inconsistent tab completion behaviour between commands and arguments
[
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6004?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s...
]
Jeff Mesnil commented on AS7-6004:
----------------------------------
The issue is in jreadline Console[1].
It will only append a space after the completion if the completion corresponds to the
beginning of the buffer line.
for deployment-over<TAB>, this works:
* full completion => deployment-overlay
* buffer line => deployment-overlay
=> a white space is appended
for deployment-over a<TAB>, this does not work, since the completion is only for
add:
* full completion => add
* buffer line => deployment-overlay add
=> no whitespace appended

Inconsistent tab completion behaviour between commands and arguments
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AS7-6004
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6004
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CLI
Reporter: Jeff Mesnil
Assignee: Jeff Mesnil
Priority: Minor
When tab is used for completion, the behavior changes when there is only 1 remaining
candidate.
For commands, when the completion leads to a single candidate, a whitespace is appended
and we can proceed to the arguments
For arguments using a TabCompleter, when the completion leads to a single candidate, no
whitespace is appended and we have to type it to be able to proceed to the next argument
Example:
* deployment-over<TAB>
=> will complete to deployment-overlay<WHITESPACE><CURSOR> (a whitespace
is appended to the single candidate)
* deployment-overlay a<TAB>
=> will complete to deployment-over add<CURSOR> (no whitespace appended even
though add is the only candidate matched)
