The last fix introduced a new issue but now it’s too much quoting.

@neersighted @Secrus I think this issue should be re-open and fix again.

@garbelini Nice friend! Thank you for you solution. It also works for me.

I’m currently using NeoVim as my editor. I used the following command to quickly replace all these extra-quoted commands. It may also valid in Vim.

:1,$s/__fish_seen_subcommand_from '\(.*\)''/__fish_seen_subcommand_from \1'

For my fellow sd users the following work and is easier:

poetry completions | sd "'([^']+)''" '"$1"\'' > ~/.config/fish/completions/poetry.fish

Contrary to what some earlier regex were looking for, the only problem is double quoting in the same argument ('[^']+'')

I still get an error using autocomplete in fish.

I still see this issue with poetry 1.3.1 and fish 3.6.0 on macosx using homebrew. I’ll see if I can submit a follow-up PR (if there isn’t already one) in the next day or so.

I suggest to re-open the issue, as this issue still persists:

@rahul286 thanks

Its worked for me on linux as well…

sed -i.bak -E "s/'([a-z]*[[:blank:]][a-z]*)''/\1'/g" ~/.config/fish/completions/poetry.fish

It takes time, to do things right. At the moment, I am the only person actively working on Cleo maintenance. Everybody on the Poetry team is working on this project as a volunteer, giving it as much of our free time as we can. I understand the frustration when things don’t work as intended, but please have patience.

I still get an error using autocomplete in fish.

Poetry (version 1.3.0) fish, version 3.5.1

log

+1, same issue (and same log) with Poetry 1.3.1 and Fish 3.5.1

The issue is now reopened. Please refrain from “me too” type of comments.

On macOS, the following appears to be working for me.

sed -i.bak -E "s/'([a-z]*[[:blank:]][a-z]*)''/\1'/g" /opt/homebrew/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/poetry.fish

Please note that I use GNU sed (can be installed using brew install gnu-sed. if you do this, read post-install caveats)

Yep. Poetry 1.3.2 and Fish 3.6.0 here and seeing the same issue.

The last fix introduced a new issue but now it’s too much quoting.

As a workaround search the the output for instances like '__fish_seen_subcommand_from 'self add'' and remove the extra quotes '__fish_seen_subcommand_from self add

Seems to work for me

Hi! The issue is still there.

Completion bugs are now fixed with the incoming release.

I see this issue on poetry 1.3.2 on Archlinux

~/.config/fish/completions/poetry.fish (line 223):
complete -c poetry -A -n '__fish_seen_subcommand_from 'source add'' -l default -d 'Set this source as the default (disable PyPI). A default source will also be the fallback source if you add other sources.'
^
from sourcing file ~/.config/fish/completions/poetry.fish

complete: too many arguments

$
$ poetry -V
Poetry (version 1.3.2)
$ fish -V
fish: invalid option -- 'V'
$ (1) fish -v
fish, version 3.6.0

I’ll try to request that cleo get a new release, I’m not sure what the process is for it so I just asked in the discord for now. Will update this comment as appropriate.

I don’t think this issue needs any more updates.

After the next cleo release it will be fixed and otherwise there are a variety of suggestions in the comments for short-term workarounds.

You can check in the poetry discord to see if there’s anything you can do to help with release

It is still a problem with Poetry 1.4.0 and fish 3.6.0.

I believe poetry 1.4.0 still uses cleo 2.0.1, see my above comment.

the 1.4 branch still has cleo 2.0.1 in its poetry.lock file

I edited ~/.config/fish/completions/poetry.fish and sorted out mismatched single and double quotes. Now this issue is gone.

• Fish 3.6.0
• Python 3.11
• Poetry 1.3.2

This is known and I am working on fixing completions in cleo right now.

btw when I asked last week, the response was that cleo maintainers have some bugs they want to fix before they release. I do not know what the bugs are, so I guess there’s not much to do.

It is still a problem with Poetry 1.4.0 and fish 3.6.0. The problem seems to be that the quoting for the complex commands like “self update” is mangled. I could fix the problem by removing all these quotes around “self update”, “self add”, …

At Fish 3.6.0 at complete there is no option -A

from 2.5b1

complete no longer recognises --authoritative and --unauthoritative options, and they are marked as obsolete.

I’m on NixOS, so the default location of the poetry.fish completion script isn’t writable. Setting a .config file makes it use that, though. The workaround for me was copying the file there and applying the quoting to the -a args:

cp /run/current-system/sw/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/poetry.fish ~/.config/fish/completions/poetry.fish
sd " -(\w) ([\w\- ]+) -d" ' -$1 "$2" -d' ~/.config/fish/completions/poetry.fish
# Problem should be gone in new shells

Now I get it. I’ll try to edit ~/.config/fish/completions/poetry.fish as a walkaround.

After the patch is released in Cleo and applied to Poetry, I should remove my own poetry.fish and re-generate one for an “official fix”?

If everything goes according to our plan, update for Cleo should be a part of next minor release of Poetry (1.3 at the moment of writing this). The info will be in the release notes for sure and it will state the need for re-generation of completion files

The Cleo release has not made it into Poetry yet – @Secrus is working on getting a release out this week. Due to neglect/bit rot, Cleo is in a pretty rough state release-wise and is difficult to release. The hope is to reset the board here (and there has been a lot of work to that end) so Cleo can release early and often with Poetry’s needs.

Summary

The problem still exists, but it only occurs when Poetry autocompletion is activated for the first time.

Environments

Steps to reproduce

How should I fix this problem? Shall I upgrade poetry to a preview version? Or just simply edit and fix ~/.config/fish/completions/poetry.fish as follows on our own?

However I see that the subcommand specific options might not be in the scope of this issue, and might need a separate one.

@mrmeszaros I agree that would be a separate issue, since this one was just focused on the errors/warnings produced by quoting errors. I’m not sure if a related issue already exists, though.

OHHHHH. I see. the problem is just that the fix wasn’t in the release.

This commit (Dec 12, 2022) fixes the issue (because of a typo in the original PR, I assume): https://github.com/python-poetry/cleo/commit/6cc808dd97c811146d72d1c674cfbbdcaf103ce7

but the most recent release of cleo (2.0.1) seems to be Nov 22, 2022? https://github.com/python-poetry/cleo/releases

let me know if the list of releases aren’t actually what’s included in the released version of poetry, but based on poetry.lock in the master branch, I’m guessing it is: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/blob/master/poetry.lock#L271-L281
