Beats: Feature: Generate bash autocomplete for subcommands

Created on 16 Nov 2017 · 7Comments · Source: elastic/beats

I'd ~like~ love to have a way to generate an bash or zsh autocomplete file for the beat's sub-commands.

Maybe we could install this for all users with our .deb and .rpm packages too.

I mean generate autocompletion files during packaging and add them to the resulting package so both bash and zsh use it if when you install from deb/rpm

We already have this implemented for bash in all beats, just run: <beat> completion bash, that subcommand is hidden as it's not minded for end users but packaging.

We still have to add zsh support and make use of this from the packaging

@exekias
What do you meant by from the packaging, Is there any other project packaging doing that?

@andrewkroh support for zsh is in https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/5761, I am not too familiar with the packaging.
