Description:

fish 3.0.1 is missing some TAB completions. For example, typing `curl -<TAB>` doesn't show anything; typing `man 1 <TAB>` only show built-in commands.

I have tested fish 3.0.1 in Debian, and it seems to work.

I have attached two Dockerfiles for reproducing the problem, one of which is the Debian version that works without problem, the other one is Arch Linux version that is missing completions.
   archlinux-fish.Dockerfile (0.2 KiB)
   debian-fish.Dockerfile (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

you need to call fish_update_completions that generates the manpage completions for your user, this is documented in the wiki page. i have 3625 completions for manpages.
curl does come like that from vanilla upstream: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/72d80c3d91bbd35bed0aafb5514c9834bb48e256/share/completions/curl.fish
Please report upstream if you want more curl completions

I did call fish_update_completions, but there is still no completion. Also, if I source ~/.local/share/fish/generated_completions/curl.fish manually, completion for curl begin to work for the current fish process.

In my attached Dockerfiles, I have called fish_update_completions, but there is no completion in the Arch Linux container.

did you restart your shell? it works here, quite definitively

Yes, I did restart my shell.

I have tried fresh installation of Arch Linux:

# pacstrap /mnt base fish python
# arch-chroot /mnt fish -c fish_update_completions
# arch-chroot /mnt fish

I got no completion for `curl -<Tab>`.

Again: This is how upstream ships the curl completions, you should report upstream.
echo $fish_complete_path
/usr/share/fish/completions take precedence over the manually generated completions in /root/.local/share/fish/generated_completions and therefor the extended completion parsed from man page will not be shown. This is an upstream issue that should be fixed

OK, this bug can be close now.

Bug 1 has been fixed by upstream (https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/commit/dbeaa0c8de4f25e6a72a215abc8d4fa0c117c967).

As for the second bug, I find out that I need to run `mandb` manually to make `man 1 ` completions show up.
