Machine Type: i686-pc-cygwin
Bash Version: 4.1
Patch Level: 10
Release Status: release
Description:
I've just now updated my cygwin and now the tab completion for
cd gives me:
bash: cd: cd: No such file or directory
bash: [: too many arguments
bash: cd: cd: No such file or directory
I've simplified the flow to the below. If I try to tab
complete on _cd <tab-complete> all works OK. Seems to have
something to do with tab completion using the alias of cd.
I've been using similar code for nearly 20 years all the way
back to ksh, with never a problem until now.
Repeat-By:
alias cd=_cd
function cd { \cd "$@"; }
cd <tab-complete>
I get the message:
bash: cd: cd: No such file or directory
bash: [: too many arguments
bash: cd: cd: No such file or directory
