Environment

• Installation method: go get

I'm having the same issue.

go version go1.13.4 darwin/amd64 OSX 10.14.5

[chbiel]

same with "go version go1.13.4 linux/amd64"
when trying to upgrade with go get -u -v github.com/gopasspw/gopass

[bramvdklinkenberg]

Same issue here.
go version go1.13 darwin/amd64

Any traction on this? PR seems to have stalled due to lack of tests or a review and is now out of sync and has conflicts.

Meanwhile, the recommended installation method is completely broken.

[liljenstolpe]

Can I make a suggestion? Completion is certainly nice, but it is not core functionality. You now have a situation where folks can't install or upgrade. How about taking completion out of the master branch and get us to a situation where we can install. Then, when you get completion working, merge it back in?

[acheron2302]

The problem is because in completion.go the case of switch statement type suppose to be the pointer for it to work.

So we have 3 options now:

• Fix the completion switch case but that will lead to many problem to deal with ( i'm currently working on that but kinda busy now so i will halt until January 18).
• Change the README file so that instead of download with go install, we manually install with git clone and Makefile.
• Remove the completion file completely then if the user want to use auto-complete then they will have to manually install it.

Should be fixed now.

[liljenstolpe]

Still not fixed. Just did a go get - same issue.
