Interesting. What tmux version are you using? What shell and what version?

[ferreum]

Line 20 of sh/tmuxcomplete is broken. You don't want the [ and ]. I guess the used shell does not support &> for redirection, thus it ends the command at the & and runs the command in background. The [ command does not get the ] as parameter, and it prints an error. Meanwhile the shell continues to execute ] which it cannot find and prints the error here shown first.

@wellle @ferreum thanks for your reply and the plugin is so amazing.

@ferreum: Thanks, I'll try to get rid of &> and possibly [ and ]. Or do you already know a clean and portable way to fix this?

[justinmk]

Why not just change the shebang to #!/bin/bash ?

Anyways, I've tested the script on ubuntu 12+ which uses dash for /bin/sh, so I don't think portability is the problem.

[justinmk]

Oh guess what? I had a local modification from long ago (which I forgot to send a PR for) that removed the [ and ], so that's why it was working for me. 💩

do you already know a clean and portable way to fix this?

I recommend just removing the [ and ]. There's nothing wrong with the &>.

[wellle]

@kevin4fly: It should be fixed now, please try again.

@ferreum @justinmk: Thanks for the help. I removed [, ] and &> in #44. According to [1] using 2>&1 seems to be the most portable way.

[1] Redirect both stderr and stdout to /dev/null with /bin/sh

[kevin4fly]

it gets fixed, thanks!
