Completion for tasks only gives one option

[jeeftor]

I'm using ./gradlew on Mac

The __gradle-completion-init command generates this file:

bootRun:Runs this project as a Spring Boot application.\nassemble:Assembles the outputs of this project.\nbootJar:Assembles an executable jar archive containing the main classes and their dependencies.\nbuild:Assembles and tests this project.\nbuildDependents:Assembles and tests this project and all projects that depend on it.\nbuildNeeded:Assembles and tests this project and all projects it depends on.\nclasses:Assembles main classes.\nclean:Deletes the build directory.\njar:Assembles a jar archive containing the main classes.\ntestClasses:Assembles test classes.\ninit:Initializes a new Gradle build.\nwrapper:Generates Gradle wrapper files.\njavadoc:Generates Javadoc API documentation for the main source code.\nbuildEnvironment:Displays all buildscript dependencies declared in root project 'timeMonitor'.\ncomponents:Displays the components produced by root project 'timeMonitor'.

Which I assume is my completion file

However when I type ./gradlew <TAB> it always jumps to bootRun - am I missing something here?

If I give it a -<TAB> I get all the command line options which is awesome - but I was hoping for tab completion on tasks.

If I try something like ./gradlew c<TAB> nothing.

Thanks for any help that can be offered

Hm... that \n in the file should be an actual line break.

I cannot reproduce this, so would you do the following so we can investigate further?

• If you rm -r ~/.gradle/completion/ and try again does it do the same thing?
• Does completion behave the same on bash?
• Does completion behave differently on different projects?
