How to autocomplete file paths?

[bloudermilk]

One of my commands simply accepts a file path as a parameter but I can't seem to figure out how to re-enable native autocompletion. Is this possible?

Here's the sub in question if it helps: pilot-install.

@qrush would love to get your advice on this!

It doesn't seem like the script linked uses autocompletions at all. Have you read:

https://github.com/37signals/sub#autocompletion

Basically you could have:

# Provide pilot completions
if [ "$1" = "--complete" ]; then
  exec ls
fi

@qrush I've read referenced documentation and successfully implemented autocompletion for a couple commands already. It seems like if I wanted to do a traditional path autocomplete I would need to have access to the partial argument being completed. Is that right?

@qrush not sure if this fell off your radar or you've just been busy...

[qrush]

Yes, both, and I've been on vacation all this week. I'm really not sure of the best way to do this other than what I provided earlier, sorry.

No worries, thanks for your help.

Hey @bloudermilk does #27 work for you?

[bloudermilk]

@qrush yes, thank you!
