Zsh-autocomplete: can't clobber paremeter

[gregf]

I am seeing this error when almost every command I run right now. Mostly seems to be shell built ins though actually.

_autocomplete.async-list-choices:6: can't clobber parameter _autocomplete__async_fd containing file descriptor 25

zsh 5.8 (amd64-portbld-freebsd12.1
FreeBSD fluffy.lan 12.1-STABLE FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE r361783 GENERIC amd64

Using zimfw for my zshrc setup

[marlonrichert]

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll look into it.

[marlonrichert]

@gregf I just tried zsh-autocomplete with a clean install of zimfw on zsh 5.8 and it works fine for me.

Can you please send me a copy of your .zshrc and .zimrc files, so I can investigate what might be the cause of the problem?

[gregf]

It was my fault. I had another zsh-autocomplete repo listed, so they were conflicting. Sorry to waste your time!

[adam-beck]

@gregf I'm running into this same issue. What do you mean exactly by "I had another zsh-autocomplete" repo listed?

[marlonrichert]

@adam-beck He means he was sourcing zsh-autocomplete twice. That doesn't work. 🙂

[gregf]

I shouldn't have closed this, it appears to be happening agin this morning with out sourcing the repo twice. This is my configs.

[marlonrichert]

@gregf Sorry, that's too much customization for me to test with. You are sourcing and loading a bunch of things that I don't have access to.

Can you please disable your plugins and other sourced files one by one to see what it is that conflicts with zsh-autocomplete? Once we know the source of the conflict, then I can fix it.

[gregf]

@marlonrichert removing this might have fixed it. zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

[marlonrichert]

@gregf That cannot be it, because if I run just a standard install of zimfw (which includes zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions) plus zsh-autocomplete, then it works just fine.

[gregf]

shrugs it's been fine since I removed it. Does the order matter?

[marlonrichert]

If you want to use both, then zsh-autocomplete should preferably come before zsh-autosuggestions, but it should not really matter that much.

You must still have some other customization getting in the way, because I'm unable to reproduce it with just zimfw, zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-autocomplete.

[marlonrichert]

@adam-beck Would you happen to have a minimal test case with which I can reproduce the problem?

[marlonrichert]

@gregf @adam-beck I just now randomly managed to reproduce this by creating an empty variable on the command line, like a= or 1=.

I pushed in a fix on the dev branch. Can you please check out the dev branch and see if this fixes it for you?

Do this by going to the dir where you cloned zsh-autocomplete and do

git pull
git checkout dev

then restart your terminal.

[gregf]

@marlonrichert looks fixed to me. Ty!

[marlonrichert]

Great! I've now merged it into master, so you can go back to using that branch.
