tubectl with completion?

[ghost]

One can use kubectl completion bash to have kubectl do auto completion. Can this be done with tubectl as well? I tried to do source <(tubectl completion bash) but it doesn't work. Maybe this can be supported?

Thanks,

Hi, I think you can just source original completion and then define compdef like as following:

source <(tubectl completion bash)
compdef tubectl=kubectl

Although, I'd recommend using workflow with aliases instead of tab-tab-completion, for example:

alias kp='tubectl get pods'

and then just go like that for listing pods in dev cluster in kube-system namespace

kp @dev +sys

Hi,

I tried your suggestion but it's not working. I know the alias option but that's not what I'm looking for.

The reason is with kubectl completion I can do kubectl get pod [TAB] and it'll show all the pods and I can tab to the one I want and continue without having to use the mouse to select the pod name and paste.

I really like tubectl that's why I'm asking for this feature. It does slow down productivity quite a bit when having to use the mouse.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, there is no improved completion right now.
But I know that feeling when you need to use your mouse to enter a name of pod, you can try to use tmux-autocomplete, it helps me in such cases: https://tmux.reconquest.io/ (I'm co-maintainer of it, licenses are free)

You're right, completion should be provided out of the box.
