No completion for asdf-vm commands

[Pilgrim1379]

I've pretty much remodelled my zsh setup to mimick your personal zsh settings. I've even organised the structure of my files same as yours with the naming and all. Everything is working as expected except completion for the asdf-vm framework.

I've installed asdf-vm via znap source asdf-vm/asdf asdf.sh and also have my fpath like so:

fpath=(
    $HOME/Git/asdf/completions(N)
    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/share/zsh/site-functions
    $fpath[@]
)

However when I start asdf and hit TAB, I don't get any completion for the command options. The completions file available at $HOME/Git/asdf/completions as a file _asdf

also have my fpath like so:

fpath=(
    $HOME/Git/asdf/completions(N)
    $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/share/zsh/site-functions
    $fpath[@]
)

That's no longer the recommended way to install completions. Remove that and run this once on the command line:

znap install asdf-vm/asdf

It will work after that.

It worked thanks. These changes, are they documented anywhere. I'm sure I scoured through the docs but didn't see it mentioned.

Also in my zshrc could I have done

znap install asdf-vm/asdf
znap source asdf-vm/asdf

so I get the competions installed properly next time? I'm trying to create a set and forget script.

Not an issue but I noticed two ui's for listing completions. One lists the completions vertically with descriptions of what each does (which I prefer) and the other lists them horizontally with no descriptions at all.

So asdf-vm list's veritically with nice descriptions whereas pipx and pip for example only lists the completions horizontally. Is it somehing that I can control?

Yes, here: https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-snap/blob/main/README.md#install-executables-and-completion-functions

znap install asdf-vm/asdf

While you can technically put that in your dotfiles, it will slow down your shell startup somewhat, since each time you run znap install, it scans the repo for new executables and completion functions. That's not a "free" operation. You're meant to just run it once on the command line.

No, unfortunately not. This happens because pipx and pip use bash-style completions, which do not support descriptions. To get the vertical list with descriptions, you need a native zsh completion function, which asdf does provide, but pipx and pip do not.
