fish - Maximum recursion depth reached with tab-complete

Question

With my fish shell, I have defined the alias

alias black='command black -l 110'

When I type black in my shell and start to tab-complete, I get the error

complete: maximum recursion depth reached

The same thing happens with similar aliases such as

alias readelf='command readelf -W'

Answer 1

If I enter

alias readelf='command readelf -W'

into a fish shell, this is what fish does with it:

$ type -a readelf
readelf is a function with definition
# Defined via `source`
function readelf --wraps='command readelf -W' --description 'alias readelf=command readelf -W'
  command readelf -W $argv;
end

The --wraps argument, which controls completions, looks wrong.

Since fish creates functions for aliases, just create the function yourself:

function readelf --wraps=readelf
  command readelf -W $argv
end
