Bash completions don't seem to be working

[Pilgrim1379]

I just installed azure cli using brew install azure-cli. This installs completions to /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/. It's my understanding that zsh-snap takes care of making sure that bash completions work in zsh hence I don't have to have autoload -U +X bashcompinit; bashcompinit in my .zshrc.

However I don't get completions for the azure-cli command which has a short form of az. I've tinkered for quite a bit without success. Hoping you can point me in the right direction. Below is my .zshrc.

Unlike zsh completions, bash completions are not functions; they are scripts. Therefore, you need to source them. 🙂

[Pilgrim1379]

Thanks so I added source /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/az to my .zshrc and restarted the terminal however completion isn't working still. Mind you I didn't add autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit since you already take care of that in zsh-snap.

It works for me like this:

(click to expand)

% cd $(mktemp -d)
% print " 
PS1='%# '                                 
source /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/az                   
" > .zshrc
% exec env -i HOME=$PWD TERM=$TERM zsh -d

It's just extremely slow.

@ThePreacher Did you manage to solve it?

[Pilgrim1379]

@marlonrichert I've just not tired to get it working since. It'll be nice to have but for now I've left it alone :)
