Hi,
I have a script that starts several tmux panes with my favorite commands.
In some (*some* and only *sometimes*) of the panes I see:
-bash: /home/xxxxxP/.git-completion.bash: No such file or directory
-bash: /home/xxxxxP/.git-prompt.sh: No such file or directory
My .bashrc has:
$ grep git .bashrc
. ~/.git-completion.bash
. ~/.git-prompt.sh
My userid is xxxxxf (and not xxxxxP).
Is this known?

What if you trace `echo $HOME; echo ~` after the `.`? I have occasional
cases where $HOME and ~ start to be different in my shell, which is
quite weird and should not happen according to bash documentation.

Ok,
My userid is xx00mkf.
If I add:
. ~/.git-completion.bash
if [ ! $? = 0 ] ; then
echo "HOME=" $HOME
echo "~=" ~
fi
I see:
-bash: /home/xx00m/.git-completion.bash: No such file or directory
HOME= /home/xx00mkf
~= /home/xx00m
If I add:
. ~/.git-completion.bash
if [ ! $? = 0 ] ; then
echo "HOME=" $HOME
echo "~=" ~
echo "~/.git-completion.bash=" ~/.git-completion.bash
fi
-bash: /home/xx00m/.git-completion.bash: No such file or directory
HOME= /home/xx00mkf
~= /home/xx00mkf
~/.git-completion.bash= /home/xx00mkf/.git-completion.bash
If I add:
. ~/.git-completion.bash
if [ ! $? = 0 ] ; then
echo "HOME=" $HOME
echo "~=" ~
echo "~=" ~
echo "~=" ~
echo "~=" ~
echo "~=" ~
echo "~=" ~
echo "~=" ~
echo "~=" ~
fi
I cannot reproduce the issue.
Weird.

HOME dir depends on entries in:
/etc/nsswitch.conf
whether you have /etc/passwd and/or /etc/group files and their entries;
your SAM and/or AD entry contents including e.g.
$ net user $USER | grep '^Comment'
Comment <cygwin home="/home/..." group="Users"...>
You can check if any of these are in effect by running:
$ getent passwd $USER
If you think they are relevant, you might also want to try to trace and debug
your bash-completion setup scripts:
$ set -vx
$ . /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh |& tee /tmp/completion.log | less
to see what they are doing that might affect other settings.

Thanks, but ~ changes from xx01m to xx01mkf (which is correct) between
a few commands in .bashrc:
If I add:
. ~/.git-completion.bash
if [ ! $? = 0 ] ; then
echo "HOME=" $HOME
echo "~=" ~
echo "~/.git-completion.bash=" ~/.git-completion.bash
fi
I see (*sometimes*):
-bash: /home/xx00m/.git-completion.bash: No such file or directory <<<wrong
HOME= /home/xx00mkf
~= /home/xx00mkf <<<correct
~/.git-completion.bash= /home/xx00mkf/.git-completion.bash <<<correct

Well then you have to trace and debug those commands run from your .bashrc where
~ changes, perhaps using bashdb?

I really don't know how I can debug this?
With this:
. ~/.git-completion.bash
~ is *sometimes* expanded wrongly:
With this:
while [ ! ~ = $HOME ] ; do
echo "$0: !!! ~ =! \$HOME" >&2
done
. ~/.git-completion.bash
I *sometimes* see an endless loop.
With this:
while [ ! ~ = $HOME ] ; do
echo "$0: !!! ~ =! \$HOME" ~ $HOME >&2
done
. ~/.git-completion.bash
I see no error.
I have a script that I run under mintty. The script starts tmux, with
some panes. I see the error *sometimes* in *some* panes (not the same
every time).

I've had funky results from time to time on ~ expansion in cygwin
bash. usually it works fine. But sometimes one of the terminal windows
gets into a state where ~ becomes something that isn't all that
intelligible and breaks scripts. I forget if starting a new terminal
fixes it - usually I just quit using ~ until I end up rebooting. Never
really tracked it down.

What happens if you use $HOME instead of ~ ?

It's sufficient to start a new bash (exec bash) to recover. I have the
effect that sometimes (rarely) ~ flips to become /home/$USER on one
system where $HOME is configured to be somewhere else.
I once tried to track it down in bash source, without success so far.
Yet I suspect it's a bash bug.

Ok. I have not seen problems with $HOME, so I will use that from now
