One way I found is to perform additional checks like:
if not sys.argv[1:] and sys.stdin and sys.stdin.isatty():
run_gui()
and it works since the sys.stdin.isatty()
is False when running from [TAB][TAB],
but I haven't fully tested it yet, and there might be a better way to do this.
EDIT: Actually, since it looks like _MYAPP_COMPLETE env var is set in every compdef (bash zsh etc.) It is a better way to check if we are in the application from [TAB][TAB]
if not sys.argv[1:] and "_MYAPP_COMPLETE" not in os.environ:
run_gui()

Description
Let's say I have an application called "myapp". This application runs in two modes - TUI/GUI and CLI. How I want it to be run is:
myapp
-> run the TUI/GUI modemyapp -h
(or any other argument/option given) -> run the CLI mode via TyperAnd it works fine as I have attached in the sample code, but... There is a problem when installing auto-completion via
myapp --install-completion
. Since it installs #compdef with justmyapp
command, when I press [TAB][TAB], it tries to run in TUI/GUI mode instead of CLI.A simple, but not ideal workaround is to edit the complete definition and place some option there like
myapp --from-completion
so the full script for ZSH looks like this:and in the
main()
function we don't even have to edit anything since this additional--from-completion
argv doesn't make the if statement to run the GUI.But this workaround requires some action to do from the app user side. (manually editing the autocomplete definition script)
Is there another way to perform a check if the application was just run while [TAB][TAB] occurs?
