Based on https://gohugo.io/commands/hugo_gen_autocomplete/ I’m running this cmd to generate a zsh autocompletion file in /etc/: sudo hugo gen autocomplete --type=zsh --completionfile=/etc/zsh-hugo-autocompletion
Note if I don’t include sudo I get ‘Error: invalid argument’ message.
I see the file is generated, but after I cd /etc/ I try sourcing the file a couple ways: . ./zsh-hugo-autocompletion source zsh-hugo-autocompletion
I then create a new terminal session a couple ways:
opening a new terminal in a different tab
quit the current terminal app and relaunch
quit current terminal app and try another
Afterwards autocompletion doesn’t seem to be working.
Specifically - after I type 'hugo ’ I’m thinking I should see command suggestions appear in the terminal after typing the space.
hugo env
hugo v0.83.1+extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate=unknown
GOOS=“darwin”
GOARCH=“amd64”
GOVERSION=“go1.16.3”
Running on macOS Big Sur 11.4 and testing in iTerm2 and VSCode zsh terminals.
You misunderstand, how autocomplete files work. The directory /etc/ is a bad place for that file. Put it somewhere into your own user directory, depending on your system you should have a .config/ directory. Create a autocomplete directory there and in there add the file hugo creates.
Then look for a file that gets loaded when you start your terminal session. Depending on the system this can be anywhere from ~/.profile to a file specific to zah-shell. In there you add the line . autocompletefilepath.
This way it gets loaded each time you open a terminal session.
After opening a new terminal and typing "hugo ", I can now hit the tab key and view a list of command suggestions. Then typing in a command and space if I hit the tab key again I can view more suggestions. Note it’s also possible to just hit the tab key twice instead of space+tab.
