Description
Auto-complete in cqlsh does not work correctly on some commands. We see some inconsistent behaviour when completing part of the statement and hitting the tab key.
Works correctly
Auto-complete on 'desc table ', 'desc function ' and 'desc type ' works correctly. We see a list of all tables (or functions, types) in the current keyspace plus a list of all available keyspaces followed by a full stop (e.g. system.)
cqlsh:fxaggr> desc TABLE
minutedata system_distributed.
; rawtickdatabylp system_traces.
<enter> rawtickdatabysymbol tickdata
daydata system.
fxaggr. system_auth.
Fix required
'desc aggregate ' displays the aggregates in the current keyspace (in this case, only 1, called 'average') but does not display a list of available keyspaces. It only displays the current keyspace, with no following full stop.
cqlsh:fxaggr> desc aggregate
; <enter> average fxaggr
Works correctly
Auto-complete on 'desc table <keyspace>. ' and 'desc type <keyspace>.' works correctly. We see a list of all tables (or types) in the current keyspace
cqlsh:fxaggr> desc table fxaggr. daydata rawtickdatabylp tickdata minutedata rawtickdatabysymbol
Fix required
Auto-complete on 'desc function <keyspace>. ' and 'desc aggregate <keyspace>.' works inconsistently. In a keyspace with 2 functions, both beginning with the letters 'avg', if I type 'desc function <keyspace>' and hit tab, auto-complete will result in this: 'desc function fxaggr.avg ' and will not display the matching functions. If I type 'desc function <keyspace>.' (note the trailing full stop) and hit tab, auto-complete will work correctly:
cqlsh:fxaggr> desc function fxaggr.avg avgfinal avgstate
If I type 'desc aggregate <keyspace>' and hit tab, auto-complete returns 'desc aggregate <keyspace> ' (it adds a space) and does not show me the list of available aggregates. If I type 'desc aggregate <keyspace>.' (note the trailing full stop) and hit tab, auto-complete will work correctly.
