Bug #7680: IRB autocompletion doesn't autocomplete methods

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: keiju (Keiju Ishitsuka)
• Target version: 2.0.0
• ruby -v: 2.0.0

[zzak (zzak _)]

steps to reproduce:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> irb_

This returns nothing, but should return all of the irb commands. Such as irb_binding, irb_context, irb_jobs, irb_help, etc etc

Please, try:

% irb -r irb/completion
irb(main):001:0> irb_

This works, should irb/completion be required by default?

Yes.
Otherwise, you can write .irbrc to:

require "irb/completion"

Can we make irb default require irb/completion?

I will open up a feature request.

I looks like it never was. Although I don't see any reason for not including this behaviour by default. Maybe depending on readline.

Irb completion function is still incomplete.
I might be the default this feature is now more complete.
