Describe the bug

Created shell functions or command aliases in Warp envrionment cannot be completed by tab. Issue is on both of Mac OS and Linux version.

To reproduce

1. Run Warp
2. Create a shell function, for example,

   ~
   $ function test_fn
   function> ls
   ~

3. Type test and push the TAB
4. Can confirm there's no test_fn in candidate list

Expected behavior

Shell function or aliased command should be appear as candidate when doing TAB auto completioin Note that

• No issue if invoking the function by fully typing the test_fn manually with Enter.
• No issue at all with other terminal programs such as Mac OS's terminal or Gnome terminal of Linux

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Hi @ruukina since Warp should load the completion for the function if you put in to your rc file (i.e.~/.zshrc) and load a new session (window/tab/pane).

@dannyneira , thank you for your comment. But unfortunately, it cannot be a solution. Not all shell functions or aliases are "static".

For example, Google provides "lunch" as a shell function when building AOSP. But even if you did "source build/envsetup.sh", which defines the "lunch", on Warp, you cannot find "lunch" from Warp's auto completion candidate list. Not only "lunch", evnsetup.sh provides number of functions for development convenience.

@ruukina thanks for your patience. there is no fix for dynamically updating shell functions to be loaded on the fly in Warp. Your best bet is to fallback to shell completions by running your preferred shell zsh,bash,fish`, in a subshell.
