initialise completions with ZSH's compinit

[jqhr]

My asdf has no completions. see asdf zsh&git I must execute this

autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

Has any other solutions? @ericbn

Hi @jqhr. You definetly need to initialize the Zsh completion system for completion to work. And there are two ways to do it:

1. Add autoload -Uz compinit && compinit to your .zshr file.
2. OR add zmodule completion to your .zimrc file. This Zim module will call compinit for you.

I have addedzmodule completion to my zimrc file ，but it doesnot work

The completion module must come after the asdf module.

Yes.my zimrc is

I add 'autoload -Uz compinit && compinit' in my zshrc, and it works

[jqhr]

I uncommented "zstyle ':zim:completion' dumpfile "${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zcompdump-${ZSH_VERSION}" in my zshrc. and it works.

This issue still persists for me, completion module coming after asdf module. I will attempt the workarounds.

Hi @appilon. Check https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/wiki/Troubleshooting

Hi @ericbn thanks for the help troubleshooting. Turns out ubuntu autoloads compinit in /etc/zsh/zshrc. The fix is to add skip_global_compinit=1 in ~/.zshenv. I might suggest mentioning this somewhere in the readme for https://github.com/zimfw/completion since it would be common problem, seems like a weird decision by the ubuntu release of zsh...

EDIT: I also had to rebuild the completions with zimfw clean and a restart.
