Alpha of subversion URL tab completion 3

Posted by Tim Connor Fri, 23 Mar 2007 23:32:00 GMT

Despite how much I really hate shell scripting I’ve actually got something semi-functional going on this whole svn tab completion idea. It only does anything when you tab on a full directory path (http://youserver/ or http://youserver/foo), but it will list the possibilities when you do, and autocomplete if there is only one.

I guess that just leaves getting partial completion working, ie http://yourserver/fo => http://yourserver/foo/, and then it’s done. I’m happy just to have it this far, though, so I won’t be cranking that out immediately. Down the road a bit maybe I’ll think about hostname completion too.

I cover the prerequisites in my quick intro to bash_completion of OS X. If you have that installed and the lastest svn bash_completion file, then you can just apply my patch.

    This sorts it out for partial paths as well (sorry it’s not a patch):

    

      
	
    1. if not typing an option,
      2. 
	
    2. then fallback on ordinary filename expansion
      3. 
	
    3. if argument is an URL
      
    if [[ $cur == :/ ]] ; then
      4. 
	
    4. strip leading protocol due to completion issues with :
      
        cur_path=${cur/*:/}
      5. 
	
    5. query server and then prepend stripped path – add . to paths so that
      6. 
	
    6. if they’re real directories we get them i.e. dir/ > dir/. → dir
      
        ls_results=`svn ls $(dirname $cur.) 2> /dev/null | sed -e “s@^$(dirname $cur_path.)/”`
      
        COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W “$ls_results” -       “$cur_path”) )
      
        return 0
      
    fi
      7. 
	
    7. fallback on ordinary filename expansion
      
    _filedir
      
    return 0
      8.

    with:

    
complete -o filenames -o nospace -f -F _svn $default svn

    Thanks for sharing these patches, Tim & Dan. Very handy when I can’t remember paths in old project repositories.
