relates to:

  • SR-7843 SwiftPM completions for fish

Issue Description:

It would be great to add command line (bash, zsh, fish) autocompletions to SwiftPM. This would make working with the package manager on the command line much faster and easier.

This would require:

1. Adding a mode to SwiftPM to return completions for each specific scenario (something like `swift package completions PARAMS`, returning `build, test, package` when just `swift` is typed; `init, fetch, update, generate-xcodeproj, show-dependencies, dump-package` when `swift package` is typed, etc). This should also include modifier flags.

2. Create completions files (completions.bash/.zsh/.fish) for the most used shells, that ask for the above completions.

3. Add instructions on how to enable them in the documentation.

Cool idea... it should be easy to implement the completions command.

I've create a PR for this (#703 However this ticket assumes a "completions" command which would abstract away from the specific shell. I think it would be nicer to have specific completions tailored to the shell; so to support ZSH with it's fancier completion system.

Is this still unresolved? It would seem like, since Bouke's PR was merged, the feature already exists in SPM 🙂

Yes, this is still unresolved. 703 did add shell completion scripts, but they are currently very much out of date. 843 adds the ability to generate (most of) the shell completion scripts. The next step is to determine a way to generate these shell scripts automatically for every release, and including them in the toolchain. The SwiftPM team has suggested to take this up on the mailing list for discussion; it hasn't been brought up yet.

Resolved through 1256. Instead of shipping pre-generated completion scripts, we now ship a tool to generate the completion scripts as desired. See also the Installation instructions in the documentation.
