Hi, it would be nice to be able to disable telemetry... Maybe with a global configuration, but at least with an argument on call :)

Thanks, impressive tool !

I enabled zsh completion, like

$ source <(kubectl shell completion zsh)
$ kubectl get pod
NAME                             READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
crowd-5cd447c459-rxcpg           1/1     Running   0          15h
crowd-postgres-d88f576b4-4c5n5   1/1     Running   0          15h
$ kubectl shell crowd-5<tab>  -- crickets...

It would be nice to have zsh completion complete the pod names. The completions for kubectl do, like kubectl get pod/crowd-5<tab>

fish shell completion of pods/namespaces would be awesome, like docker debug <TAB> does

kubectl-shell --namespace <TAB> # complete namespace
kubectl-shell <TAB> # complete pod names (in current namespace, based on -n/--namespace too)

For now, pod names matter more for me so I deleted the ~/.config/fish/completions/kubectl-shell.fish and am using this instead:

# workaround for now, only completes pods in current namespace (won't factor in --namespace to kubectl-shell) so you have to change to the desired namespace
complete -c kubectl-shell -a '(kubectl get pod -o custom-columns=:metadata.name)' --no-files

Also, I vote to get rid of completing trivial subcommands (i.e. help,version,completion) because they conflict with completing pod names which are the only thing people will complete 99% of the time... for example, why would we ever need to complete the completion subcommand! In the future, if there are meaningful subcommands, then they can be completed too...

@marvingreenberg IIAC you didn't get any completions to work with kubectl shell for subcommands and/or flags? IIUC only kubectl-shell will complete (which is perfectly fine IMO)

[joe0BAB]

Unfortunately I believe @g0t4 is correct. As far as I'm aware there (still) are technically limitations to add tab completion to kubectl plugins :/

[g0t4]

FTR, I am 100% fine with using kubectl-shell (instead of kubectl shell)... probably a good thing just to avoid collision with completions for kubectl subcommands and/or other kubectl plugins.
