Troubleshooting

Completions Not Working

1. Restart your shell - New completion scripts need a fresh shell
2. Check if script is loaded - Verify the source command is in your rc file
3. Check bash-completion - Ensure bash-completion package is installed

Slow Completions

If completions are slow, they may be fetching data from the API. Consider:

• Checking network connectivity
• Ensuring you’re authenticated (ndcli auth show)

Updating Completions

Regenerate completions after NDCLI updates:

ndcli completion bash > ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/ndcli

ndcli completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_ndcli"

ndcli completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/ndcli.fish
