Subject: bug#59956: 29.0.60: Failure when completing arguments in Eshell after variable interpolation
Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2022 17:25:53 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a6e2ce5e-4511-a89d-d8c0-209b45b6b265@gmail.com> (raw)
X-Debbugs-CC: arstoffel@gmail.com
Starting from "emacs -Q -f -eshell", type "echo $exec-path " (note the
trailing space), and then hit TAB. The result is this error:
pcomplete-match: Wrong type argument: stringp, ("/usr/bin" ...)
This is a regression from Emacs 28, and it looks like it's due to
'pcomplete-here-using-help' assuming that all the pcomplete args are
strings. However, 'exec-path' is a list (and Eshell reports it this way
to pcomplete), so the completion fails. I think all that's necessary is
checking that the pcomplete args are strings in
'pcomplete-here-using-help', but I know next to nothing about pcomplete...
