[bug]: `zinit creinstall -Q ...` or `-q` is not quiet about zinit

[vladdoster]

@PyroDevil,

Will fix this soon.

In the meantime, to silence it, append the following snippet:

2>&1 > /dev/null

Example:

@PyroDevil,

If you have time, please test the patch.

To update your Zinit install with the patch, run:

zinit self-update
cd "$ZINIT[BIN_DIR]"
git pull --all
git checkout fix/creinstall-command
cd -
exec zsh -il

To go back to the main branch of Zinit, run:

cd "$ZINIT[BIN_DIR]"
git checkout main
cd -
exec zsh -il

@PyroDevil,

Could you elaborate on why you are running creinstall in your zshrc?

[alichtman]

@vladdoster I tested fix/creinstall-command. I get the following error printed at the top of my terminal when the command is zinit creinstall -Q $ZINIT_HOME/completions:

No such (plugin or snippet): -Q.

and using -q, I get the following error:

No such (plugin or snippet): %HOME/.local/share/zinit/zinit.git/completions.

This line works as expected on main.

Anyways, silencing by piping output to /dev/null works (but is messy).

The reason I'm running creinstall is to get a custom completion I'm adding to be recognized:

rustup completions zsh cargo > "$ZINIT[HOME_DIR]/completions/_cargo"

# Install my custom completions
zinit creinstall -Q $ZINIT_HOME/completions 2>&1 > /dev/null

This comes almost directly from the example in the README:

# Handle completions without loading any plugin; see "clist" command.
# This one is to be ran just once, in interactive session.
zi creinstall %HOME/my_completions

@vladdoster

Sorry for the delay. I tested fix/creinstall creinstall -q or creinstall -Q prints ==> Skipped re-installing 1 completion.

So that is not fixed there.

The reason I use creinstall in .zshrc is the same as @alichtman.

I have the same problem.
I'm using poetry and kubectl completion from OMZP. I have to creinstall to add theses completions.

This is related to #652 . I'm using the kubectl OMZP plugin. But the zsh file generate the completion file in $ZSH_CACHE_DIR/completions so I'm using creinstall
