Bash completions about wp-cli

[andreascreten]

I'm sure it's also possible on Mac, but I have nu clue how to do it.

I see homebrew has a few:

https://github.com/andreascreten/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Contributions/brew_fish_completion.fish
https://github.com/andreascreten/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Contributions/brew_zsh_completion.zsh

Those are for zsh, the non default Mac shell. I prefer to go with the build in shell.

They're all for zsh? I see one for zsh, one for bash and one for fish.

I wrote a very basic implementation. But I'm afraid we have to do it dynamically somehow, because people will add commands from within their plugins.

It's better than no completion at all. :)

You could re-use the code that generates the list of commands when doing wp help.

We now have completions for sub-commands as well.

The problem is that now, after a completion, you can't go back and erase the command you wrote. The only thing you can do is type ahead and/or press ENTER.

It's obviously related to the invocation of the wp command, but I have no idea how to fix it.

It seems to be a problem specific to Ubuntu: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3701226/bash-completion-prevents-backspace

On Mac it is working as expected (and totally kicking ass).

Ok, I think this is good enough for now. If I find a workaround for my Ubuntu problem, I'll just commit it.
