Some auto-generated completions use invalid syntax ...args

Same error in ffmpeg.nu and less.nu (and probably others).

[RReverser]

ffmpeg.nu is actually completely empty except for ...args; I suppose it's because it uses non-standard parameter format (-something instead of -s or --something).

[fdncred]

...args is a thing. it's an array of parameters that can be iterated through.

[RReverser]

I only know that I'm getting a syntax error when trying to load those files and it always points at ...args 🤷‍♂️

[fdncred]

apparently, there's a problem but ...args is a thing as shown here:

def test [...args] {
  $args | str collect
}
> test 1 2 three
12three

some investigation needs to happen to see what the problem may be

[RReverser]

Even weirder that 7z.nu works fine, but ffmpeg.nu doesn't even though they are very similar structurally...

UPD: ah ok, for some reason ffmpeg.nu has extra pair of brackets [ ... ] around each extern definition, but that's probably a separate problem since curl.nu doesn't have those.

It really looks like the problem is those extra pair of brackets. The error is gone as soon as you remove them. Search for [# in the folder and you will find other files that have those brackets, like apt-build.nu, gprof.nu...
Removing those brackets manually might not be the best idea, since they might be back the next time someone runs the auto-compete script again...
