Multiple tab completions triggers traceback

[melund]

In xonsh we experience an issue where pressing tab many times for tab completions can trigger the following traceback (https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/2730):

@scopatz can confirm that this also happens for Linux.

If I press only a few times followed by a ctrl-c I get slightly different traceback:

We are using prompt_toolkit 2.0.3

Oh sorry! slight correction. I can confirm that this does not happen on Linux

[melund]

Ups. Sorry. I misread it.

[jonathanslenders]

Does it happen on OS X too? Or only on Windows?

[melund]

I don't know. I have no way of testing it on osx, but we haven't heard from anyone having a similar problem.

[melund]

@Achimh3011 reported an other problem with the newest version of xonsh recently and he was using osx.

@Achimh3011 have you experienced something like this on your setup?

[Achimh3011]

No, I don't have that problem on OS X.

I do have tracebacks specifically with tab completion for docker (xonsh-docker-tabcomplete package). But I have not even checked yet whether that's simply due to a misconfiguration on my machine.

Just FYI: the exception Exception list index out of range occurs on windows 10 with Python 3.7.2. But in my case it only occurs at the first time when I open ipython, import some library and press Tab. After exiting ipython and reopen ipython again, the problem disappear.

Oh sorry! slight correction. I can confirm that this does not happen on Linux

I regularly experience this problem on Debian stretch with Python 3.7
