fish completions don't report aliases

[davinkevin]

Hey team, 👋

A small feature request, because I use (and love) task for a long time, and I leverage completions a lot in my day to day work.

However, I'm not able to use aliases the same way, because they are ignored completly from completions script for my shell (that is fish).

See, with this following file:

version: 3

tasks:

  foo:
    aliases:
      - bar
    cmd: echo bar

  another: echo another

I have the following result:

The bar task, even if available, is totally ignored.

Can we do something about it?

Hey

Can you confirm you have the latest version of completion installed ? It seems it was been fixed (#1113 times ago)
I haven't fish so I cannot test it atm

Hello 👋

All seems to be identical. Maybe a problem with the sed version used. In macOS, many people use the BSD, GNU or even an alternative version…

If I use explicitly the GNU version of sed, I have this:

And finally if I use the BSD version of sed:

And personally, I use sd instead of sed 😅. Would be so good to have those completion generated directly by task and not using system

If you want to test, it's easy: docker+fish, and I had the same result:
