Wrong completion when executed in git-bash (Mingw) session

[gturi]

Asking yargs to generate the completion in a git-bash session on windows produces the following completion function:

_main_yargs_completions()
{
    local cur_word args type_list

    cur_word="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
    args=("${COMP_WORDS[@]}")

    # ask yargs to generate completions.
    type_list=$(C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\my-program\bin\main --get-yargs-completions "${args[@]}")

    COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "${type_list}" -- ${cur_word}) )

    # if no match was found, fall back to filename completion
    if [ ${#COMPREPLY[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
      COMPREPLY=()
    fi

    return 0
}
complete -o bashdefault -o default -F _main_yargs_completions main

The path to the program is returned windows style instead of unix style.

By replacing C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\my-program\bin\main with /c/Program Files/nodejs/node_modules/my-program/bin/main everything works correctly.

I am using yargs 17.7.2

When I saw the title I thought MinGW might be difficult, but just a path change seems possible.

The path support is complicated by a shim layer to support the multiple runtime environments. The place the substitution occurs is:

yargs/lib/completion.ts

Lines 352 to 357 in e517318

	const name = this.shim.path.basename($0);
	// add ./ to applications not yet installed as bin.
	if ($0.match(/\.js$/)) $0 = `./${$0}`;
	script = script.replace(/{{app_name}}/g, name);
