Completions not working about clink HOT 4 CLOSED

You could put this in a clink_start.cmd file:

set CLINK_PATH=~\winfiles\Settings\clink-path;~\winfiles\Settings\clink-completions

The doc section about %CLINK_COMPLETIONS_DIR% has a "Note:" section that specifically says it's not for use with the clink-completions repo, and explains why not.

I don't know anything about zoxide.

I can reply more later, but how did you decide to configure it that way?
That's not how those work, and it's not how the directions say to do it.
I recommend reviewing the directions again, and the documentation of those environment variables.

To answer your question, I was just adding to what I have been doing for years. I have set these other environment variables in the same way in clink_start.cmd.

set GIT_SSH=%USERPROFILE%\winfiles\bin\plink.exe
set GH_BROWSER="C:\\Program\ Files\\qutebrowser\\qutebrowser.exe"
set LESSHISTFILE=%APPDATA%\_lesshst
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Vim\vim90;C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin;%USERPROFILE%\scoop\shims;%USERPROFILE%\winfiles\bin;%USERPROFILE%\winfiles\scripts;C:\Program Files\GitHub CLI;%PATH%
set EDITOR=vim
set LS_COLORS=no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40 ..........

Because all these work fine I just assumed that it would work too. Is this wrong for these variables? I'll have another look at the instructions.

In particular look at docs for the completion dir environment variable (https://chrisant996.github.io/clink/clink.html#completion-directories). It's not for pointing at the clink-completions repo.

That repo contains normal scripts that have to run when loaded. Not deferred to when commands are typed. It also contains a completions\ directory, which does get deferred. But all script directories automatically look for deferred scripts under a completions\ subdirectory.

The clink_completions_dir variable is for adding additional directories that contain scripts to be deferred until command names are typed, i.e. additional completions\ directories but named differently or in different locations. You don't want that.

It's why you're getting the errors.
