Bug 259229 – app-shells/bash-3.2_p48-r1: [TAB] completion broken

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Martin Mokrejš 2009-02-16 16:07:33 UTC]

# ls -la /etc/portage/package.mask
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1123 Jan 21 21:22 /etc/portage/package.mask
# vim /etc/portage/package.m[TAB]
# vim /etc/portage/package.mask/

This gets opened by vim with a message:
  "/etc/portage/package.mask/" Illegal file name

I would have expected to get instead:
# vim /etc/portage/package.mask

[Comment 1 Martin Mokrejš 2009-02-16 16:17:53 UTC]

My previous last and working version was app-shells/bash-3.2_p48

[Comment 2 Peter Alfredsen (RETIRED) 2009-02-16 22:58:17 UTC]

Have you checked if thus is in all your shells? I have had similar problems when binary output was sent to stdout.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2009-02-16 23:44:09 UTC]

yes, try restarting your shell.  it isnt specific to bash-3.2_p48.  some commands might screw up the shell state logic causing it to append slashes to regular files.

easy way i found to reproduce was with svn:
svn ps svn:ignore "$(svn pg svn:ignore ..)" .

[Comment 4 Martin Mokrejš 2009-02-18 12:22:09 UTC]

I have rebooted since the time and now cannot reproduce anymore. Probably some of you was right. ;-)

Created attachment 183011 [details, diff]
bash-3.2-tab-completion-slash-fix.patch

Just for the sake of completeness, there was once posted a patch dealing with this problem to the bash-bug mailing list. I wasn't able to dig up the URL to the original posting but I used the attached patch since I read about the problem in that mailing list without any problems. AFAIR, Chet said this problem would be fixed with bash-4.0
