Support for functions autocomplete in PowerShell

[konopkap]

Request

By design Powershell aliases (created with Set-Alias does not support commands with arguments (e.g. git switch). It is required to create a function for that:

function gsw { 
    git switch $args
}

However with such a definition carapace autocompletion does not work for alias gsw - it will only work for full name of git switch.

Proposed solution

Support for functions autocompletion would make carapace more useful with use of powershell aliases. Or maybe there's some configuration to already do it - but I missed to find it.

Anything else?

You can use a spec:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://carapace.sh/schemas/command.json
name: gsw
parsing: disabled
completion:
  positionalany: ["$carapace.bridge.CarapaceBin([git, switch])"]

or alias it with run instead of the Powershell function:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://carapace.sh/schemas/command.json
name: gsw
run: "[git, switch]"

Save it as gsw.yaml in the folder shown in carapace --help:
