Don't break when sourced more than once

This occurs whenever I source my ~/.zshrc with this plugin

You have a lot plugins installed. Can you please disable them one by one to see which one it is that conflicts with zsh-autocomplete? Then I can investigate the conflict and fix it.

[srappan]

Disabled everything except fzf, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-autocomplete. Still the same error.

@srappan You must still have some other customization enabled, because I just did a clean install of OMZ + fzf, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-autocomplete, and it worked fine.

[srappan]

I have powerlevel10k installed too, the error only occurs after sourcing the .zshrc

[marlonrichert]

Wait, why are you sourcing your .zshrc file? That file already gets sourced automatically when your shell starts up.

[srappan]

To reload .zshrc when I make a change to the file

[marlonrichert]

OK, thanks. I'll see if I can somehow make sure that zsh-autosuggest doesn't run again when you re-source your .zshrc file, because that's what's happening now.

[NICHOLAS85]

It is generally not a good idea to source your .zshrc during your session to reload your config as errors such as the one you’re running into tend to occur. Many plugins do not account for loading twice in the same session which is why you may see issues after sourcing. It is normally recommended to restart you session to apply changes such as running exec zsh

[olets]

Getting a similar (on the user end anyway) error:

# ~/.zshrc, nothing installed except zinit

zinit light marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

% source ~/.zshrc
_autocomplete.add-zsh-hook:4: cannot duplicate fd 1: too many open files

I've never had trouble with other plugins, or heard this recommendation. Which isn't to say there aren't other plugins that have this bug or that no one uses exec zsh but I do think it's reasonable for a user to expect to be able to source the shell rc

[marlonrichert]

@olets And that's why I'm keeping this issue open until I've fixed it. 🙂 But it's going to take time. zsh-autocomplete is a fairly complex plugin. It's not immediately obvious how to solve this.

[marlonrichert]

I've never had with other plugins, or heard this recommendation.

@olets I'm not the only one who says so: https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/blob/master/README.md#weird-things-happen-after-typing-source-zshrc

It's almost always a bad idea to run source ~/.zshrc, whether you are using Powerlevel10k or not. This command may result in random errors, misbehaving code and progressive slowdown of Zsh.

If you've made changes to ~/.zshrc or to files sourced by it, restart Zsh to apply them. The most reliable way to do this is to type exit and then start a new Zsh session. You can also use exec zsh. While not exactly equivalent to complete Zsh restart, this command is much more reliable than source ~/.zshrc.

[marlonrichert]

Available now on master.
