taskwarrior and zsh completion makes terminal crash

theseus · 2013-07-08 17:00:23

Hi all,

I had been using taskwarrior a while back. The Tab-completion was working fine with zsh, meaning that if I was typing

$ task add Something project:<TAB><TAB>

I was getting a list of all the projects already listed in my task files.

Now, if I do that, my terminal crashes (virtual or tty).

Does anyone have the same behaviour or has an idea how I could debug this?

Thanks!

happening to me too,
crashing if I double tab on anything though.
Am using zsh so am gonna look at _task, see if I can see anything.

Edit:
Seems to be working with:

task (+ | - | project: )

anything else still crashing

Made a hack and slash solution. May add to it if I need extra functionality...

#compdef task

_task () {
    _arguments -s \
        '::ids:($(task -ids))'\
        ':add:(add)'\
        '::commands:(start done modify)'\
        "::tags:($(task _tags | sed 's/.*/\+&/'))"\
        ":projects:($(task _projects | sed 's/.*/projects:&/'))"
}

I might try and do this slightly better when I have reliable internet and some time...
Hope this helps.

I had the same issue, on multiple machines.
The only time I could get it to work was by removing the task database, i.e. `rm -R ~/.task`, and re-adding all my tasks. However, as soon as I exited my shell and opened a new one, it was broken again.
In the end, installing the latest version of zsh-git made it all work, so it seems to be solved upstream.

That sorted it, thanks. Am kinda tempted to use my one though. just because tab completion is a little faster and I have only put in functions I use Slightly odd functionality but meh. I now know the quirks of it
