Is there any bash completion available for pants 2?

There is not, but we had it in v1 and we’d love to add it back. Would you be interested possibly in adding that? I imagine the v1 implementation will be similar, and we’d be happy to write up some instructions No worries if not. Otherwise, opening a GitHub issue at https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues would be helpful so we can track it and try to fit it in

I can look into adding it, but creating an issue does seem like a good first step

Indeed, that’s usually how we start. If you have a moment, that’d be helpful for you to open the issue and then we can add some thoughts on how to implement it

thanks for adding the issue, shell completion is a nice quality of life feature

@happy-kitchen-89482 thoughts on if shell autocompletion should be through the help system vs. a dedicated goal? I think a goal makes sense so that you could do

./pants shell-completion --shell=zsh

. Note that we also must write to the build root I’m not sure how in a rule to request all subsystem info
