CDPATH autocomplete is not working

[arturoherrero]

@akinomyoga Thank you very much for the feedback. This is the magic of open source.

You are right, I can remove the following lines, and CDPATH works as expected.

complete -d cd
complete -o nospace -F _cd cd

I still have a configuration issue because I want to restrict the cd autocompletion to only directories, but now it also shows environment variables and Bash functions. Anyway, that's not a bash-completion bug.

Some extra information that could be relevant. This is the output when is not working:

$ complete | grep " cd$"
complete -d cd

I suspect that that is caused by a different framework because bash-completion doesn't include such a setting:

• Code search results

[akinomyoga]

This line in your config is causing the issue.

That is related to this setting. The Bash feature cdable_vars allows you to specify a variable name to cd so that cd reads the content of the variable to pick the path to a directory. If you do not specify variable names to cd, you can remove that setting.

and Bash functions.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. It doesn't complete the names of shell functions in my environment. Or maybe do you mean "the special variables of Bash" by "Bash functions"?

@akinomyoga This is the output I was getting:

But you are right again, shopt -s cdable_vars was interfering here.

Thank you very much for your help! I've removed a few lines of code arturoherrero/dotfiles@6e436f6
achieving the same results 🙌
