Hi Magnus,

The problem did vanish for me. Tab completion works again in all my configurations. On zero, which I do not build that often, I had to run reconfigure. Sorry, I lost track of this one. I am not sure when it started working again. I even synced before Severins change, but it worked with that version too, so either this was a local fluke or it was fixed before 8213736. Great that it works again. I don't care where it was fixed, only that it works. :) Sometimes this gets stuck on incorrect updates of the generated targets list in configurations as well, so it might have actually "broke" at one point but not been discovered, since the target list was not regenerated. And similarly "fixed" at some later point but still not been discovered as fixed, due to a bad cache. If you ever get trouble with tab expansion again, make sure to start by cleaning out the entire build directory (if only temporary with "mv build build-old").

Hi all,

This may be a stupid question, and not that important, but bash completion for targets like "clean" and "images" stopped working for me. "reconfigure" still works thouugh. Did anything change? Best Regards, Thomas Not intentionally. It can be that there were too many targets. Does the recent fix for JDK-8213338 help? Unfortunately no. Bummer. :-( Is it better after JDK-8213736? This too affected target handling. If not, does "make print-targets" work properly for you? Does it work differently if you have zero, exactly one, many configurations? (This is one of the complications for make tab expansions -- theoretically different configurations can have different targets available to them.) /Magnus ..Thomas /Magnus
