  • Bug#1099853: broot: fish completion doesn't work - zsh file shipped by

    From Vincent van Leeuwen@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 8 22:10:01 2025
    Package: broot
    Version: 1.44.7-2
    Severity: normal

    Dear Maintainer,

    The broot package gives an error if you're trying to use it from the fish shell. As soon as you type 'broot ' in the shell you get the following error:


    /usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/broot.fish (line 91): Missing end to balance this if statement
    if [ "$funcstack[1]" = "_broot" ]; then
    ^^
    from sourcing file /usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/broot.fish
    source: Error while reading file '/usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/broot.fish'


    Examining the file it seems to be zsh syntax, not fish syntax. I can't find the file in the upstream git repo, so maybe something shipped by this package got switched around by mistake?

    I'm having some trouble reliably reproducing it, seems like completions are cached or something. On the second try I needed to type something like 'broot -s ' to get the same error. If you ignore the error broot mostly works fine after that, except that
    you can't install the 'br' shell integration without getting the same error.


    Kind regards,
    Vincent van Leeuwen

    Yep, after a recent change I switched the fish and zsh file paths by
    mistake, so zsh gets the fish completions and vice-versa. Fix incoming.

    Thanks for reporting!
