zsh completion does not allow directories to be tab-completed

[mdekstrand]

With the ZSH completion, when I attempt to tab-complete a directory:

$ dust Docu<tab>

it does nothing. The expected behavior is for it to tab-complete the directory name.

[bootandy]

$ echo $SHELL /usr/bin/zsh

$ dust [TAB]

this works for me.

Can you double check this or see if it works on bash ?

[mdekstrand]

Just tried again, no dice.

I'm ZSH on MacOS, using Dust 0.8.6 and its completions installed by Homebrew. I also just tried installing the latest version of Dust (brew install --HEAD dust), and the problem persists.

Bash successfully completes the directory.

I'm not sure what I can do here, I don't have a mac so I can't reproduce this - you are welcome to try and fix it yourself

Perhaps try the command: rehash ?

I had fixed this before in 0038cb24b4adbb85321e3c36fb7079fc898de44e but it looks like it got reverted in 2fa14ca19cd80ba2be106784e2626b64b199e61b.

thanks for your comment @wickles - I must have something that auto-updates and over-writes it. I'll investigate.

Which Z-shell version are you guys running ?

$ $SHELL --version 5.8.1 (x86_64-ubuntu-linux-gnu)

I've no idea what to do here. I can't cause a failure on my system with my zshell. If I try and edit the completions files running 'cargo build' will reset them back to what they were before.

Hope this helps @bootandy !
