Date tab completion not working in zsh

[davidoskky]

When inserting a due date, the parameter cannot be tab completed as it is in taskwarrior.
Expected behaviour:
Inserting "due:tom TAB" completes tom in tomorrow
Actual behaviour:
Nothing happens

This doesn't work with all other date parameters as well.

I have tab completion working properly in TaskWarrior, and as far as I can tell, it does not handle tab completion of dates. This does not complete for me: task 1 due:tom[TAB]

Also task 1 due:tom is valid, so typing the full word is not necessary in this case.

I find it odd that it doesn't work for you, for me it does complete flawlessly and I didn't set any special option; I'm using version 2.5.1.
I just tried to make sure; task 1 due:tom[TAB] completes to tomorrow.
While it is true that tom is also accepted, some other options aren't: later, someday, month names.
It would overall be a nice feature.

I've reviewed https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/blob/2.6.0/scripts/bash/task.sh, which provides the stock tab completion, and I see nothing in there that deals with completing due dates. I'm also running 2.5.1.

Are you sure you don't have some kind of plugin installed?

Also, which version of VIT does your report apply to? We might consider adding this in 2.x, especially if somebody submits a pull request.

I am running VIT 2.0.0a1
I have no plugins installed; i figured out the autocomplete only works on zsh by default.
The completion for that is here: https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/blob/2.6.0/scripts/zsh/_task
I do not really know why it is not available for bash.

I do not really know why it is not available for bash.

Well nobody has volunteered to add it. Are you raising your hand? ;)

I suggest this issue having "in zsh" appended to more accurately describe it.
