Hello all, I just found Fish and I think I may have found an inconsistency with the way in which Fish detects the Man path(s). I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with the latest updates. On my box, when I try and run "fish_update_completions", I get this error:
man: unrecognized option '--path' Try `man --help' or `man --usage' for more information. It appears that not all versions of man support the '--path' flag. To fix this (which I believe was successful) I edited "create_manpage_completions.py". I changed line 774 from this: proc = subprocess.Popen(['man', '--path'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE) to this: proc = subprocess.Popen(['manpath'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE) This seems to make a difference, as the output from "fish_update_completions" is now: Parsing man pages and writing completions to /home/matt/.config/fish/completions/ Command is 7z: 7z a doesn't contains - d doesn't contains - e doesn't contains - l doesn't contains - t doesn't contains - u doesn't contains - Command is 7za 7za a doesn't contains - d doesn't contains - e doesn't contains - l doesn't contains - t doesn't contains - u doesn't contains - Not sure whether this is correct or not, but either way I thought I should let you all know. Let me know if I can do anything else to help, and thanks for Fish!
