I made an PR earlier (#9702) to fix issue #9701, but it seems that I forgot to wrap a
$2
in quotes and escape the quotes in some of the lines above. With this mistake, most of the behavior when filenames include spaces still works properly, but some problems still occur when multiple file paths are similar and contain spaces.Broken behavior
hx foo\ ba
+Tab
autocompletes tohx foo\ b
hx foo\ biz
+Tab
autocompletes tohx foo\ b
New behavior
hx foo\ ba
+Tab
autocompletes tohx foo\ bar.txt
hx foo\ biz
+Tab
autocompletes tohx foo\ biz.txt
Testing
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/hx
with the new contents ofcontrib/completion/hx.bash
