Path completion don't work

[Strongleong]

Can't really come up with good title, sorry. Bad English knowledge.

So, I made bare git repository for my dot files and make alias config for this repo. After config -h cod picked up possible flags and commands as expected. But when I try type something like config add ~/.config/ and press TAB nothing happens.

Are you sure, cod learned completions? I have following doubts:

• cod doesn't support shell aliases (what kind of alias did you create?)
• cod doesn't learn -h flag by default, it learns only full --help flag (or did you invoke cod learn explicitly)?

You can try cod list. Does it show your command config -h?

1. My alias: alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
2. I typed config --help, sorry for my mistake in original post 😅
3. My cod list:

~ > cod list
2	/usr/bin/fd --help
3	/usr/bin/git '--git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/' '--work-tree=$HOME' --help
5	/usr/local/bin/phpactor --help
1	/usr/bin/pip --help

Cod definitely detected help page for my alias, it can autocomplete all of git commands and flags. But do not autocomplete files(

Are you using bash shell? Can you please show me output of complete command? (It shows how completion is configured for all of your commands).

I am using zsh shell.
Nor complete, nor cod complete don't wokrs

zsh stores functions used in completions in _comps map. Could you please provide output of such command

for key value in ${(kv)_comps}; do echo "$key -> $value" ; done

Output of this command is to long, I post it on pastebin

git -> _git

So your git command is completed using built in _git function (that's not surprising, zsh has a lot of completions by default). When cod takeovers completion of the command, entries in _comp

Example from my machine:

ipython3 -> __cod_complete_zsh
logrep -> __cod_complete_zsh
cod -> __cod_complete_zsh

So we have 2 questions:

1. Why your default _git completion doesn't complete filenames (and I'm afraid I'm not an expert here).
2. Why cod didn't takeover git completion. I'll take a look at that.
