Symfony Cli bash-completion

I don't know MacOs is using "bash" but yes you can use compgen using static list.

compgen is a GNU tool to create programmable completion of a string GNU Compgen

symfony --help --no-ansi | grep -v 'Available\|Global\|Usage:' | grep ':' | awk '{print $1}' | grep -Poi '^\K[\w-:]+'

In this command i am getting the command output of "symfony --help" and parsing it using GNU grep.

As i am using an output of a command (a list of argument, string) it means that i can use an output of a string saved in a document.

for example save your string as a file named symfony_commands.txt and use compgen with it.

symfony --help --no-ansi ... = cat symfony_commands.txt

It is the same. Actually, you should look what type of terminal you are using and revise this code after that. This one works best under bash.

This kind a work on Mac OSX with lots of error before compliting command. Probably due to following 2 things:

1. `grep -v 'Available\|Global\|Usage:'`

2. `grep -Poi '^\K[\w-:]+'`

Is there way to make autocomplete with static list of all commands I quickly extracted?

Found the problems!

1. grep -v 'Available\|Global\|Usage:' --> grep -v 'Available\|Global\|Usage:\|Runs\|Environment'
2. grep -Poi '^\K[\w-:]+' --> grep -Poi '^\K[\w:-]+'

for 2nd part -> stackoverflow grep -
