           Summary: Method complete of gdb.Command is never called
           Product: gdb
           Version: archer
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: python
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: krzykwas@gmail.com


Created attachment 5801
  --> http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=5801
Implementation of channel-run command.

I want to customize completion of my own python-implemented gdb command. For
that I have followed the documentation and implemented a method „complete”.
Upon being executed, that method should print „test” to stdout, however this
message never appears, so „complete” is never called. I have attached the class
implementing the problematic command. Full code of my project is available in a
fossil repository here:
http://chiselapp.com/user/krzykwas/repository/nredebug1/home

To reproduce the failure:
1. run gdb
2. source /path/to/ChannelRun.py
3. enter „channel-run” and press <TAB>

Expected behaviour: message „test” appears.
Observed bahaviour: nothing happens.

The problem is in your class's __init__ method.
It is passing "False" as the "completer" argument.
When I change it to this it works:

super(ChannelRun, self).__init__("channel-run", gdb.COMMAND_SUPPORT, prefix =
False)

... but really you don't need that last argument at all.
