How does fzf completion work now?

[weilbith]

Environment

• Zsh version: zsh 5.8 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
• zsh-autocomplete: 85e23db

Does the bug occur without config files?

• Yes
• No

Steps to reproduce

1. Open clean zsh zsh -fd
2. Source fzf installed as package source /usr/share/fzf/completion.zsh
3. Get fzf completion successfully, e.g. for cd **<Tab>
4. Source autocomplete plugin (here installed via zinit) source ~/.cache/zinit/plugins/marlonrichert---zsh-autocomplete/zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh
5. Set fzf tab option zstyle ':autocomplete:tab:*' fzf-completion yes
6. Try again fzf completion as in step 3

Expected behavior

According to the documentation I would expect that step 6 works as in step 3.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens, shell blocks, completions times out (as it reports).

It's not possible to change zstyle ':autocomplete:tab:*' fzf-completion at runtime. I've emphasized that now in the Readme.

Okay so new attempt:

$ cd $(mktemp --directory)
$ vim .zshrc
$ # see below snippet for zshrc content
$ ZDOTDIR=$PWD HOME=$PWD zsh -d
> cd /etc/** # Press <TAB> here
> # nothings happens, shell blocks, completion timeout

/tmp/tmp.i4rxmUqHWH/.zshrc:

source /usr/share/fzf/completion.zsh
zstyle ':autocomplete:tab:*' fzf-completion yes
source /home/vagrant/.cache/zinit/plugins/marlonrichert---zsh-autocomplete/zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh

Note that if I only source fzf here. It works again as intended.
So why does this setup not work? Isn't this defined in the zshrc? It should be available when your plugin gets loaded and does it setup.
I tested it like this already before in my more complex setup ofc. The runtime configuration was only for the issue. Sorry that I wasted your time. 🙈

I tried again with your new steps above, but it works fine for me. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@weilbith I pushed in some changes I had locally. Perhaps they made a difference. Can you git pull and try again?

[weilbith]

Okay that is awkward. I thought this setup should eliminate most factors of a not equal setup. I'm mobil now, but I try to reproduce this issue in a Docker container. If the problem remains I'll construct a Dockerfile for you. So that we are both in a complete independent environment. Something must be different....

Sorry, just saw your comment after posting mine (did not updated the page). I'll check this out when I'm on a PC again. 👍

Yes it works now after the update! Thank you so much. 🎉
