Description Ted Williams CLA 2006-10-12 21:15:06 EDT 
From the help "The Remote Commands view supports content assist. You can press CTRL+space to complete file names or environment variable names while you type commands."

Login to a linux host, enter "ls $HO<control space>". $HOME is a defined environment variable. Why doesn't content assist complete?

Comment 1 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2006-11-10 17:57:00 EST 
Need to investigate
Comment 2 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2008-09-16 15:44:59 EDT 
Deferring shell (RSE Commandview) related bugs since ITerminalService is more interesting for WR now
Comment 3 David McKnight CLA 2009-06-22 12:17:55 EDT 
What kind of connection is being used here (dstore, ssh, etc.)?  It works for me with dstore but not with ssh.
Comment 4 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2009-06-23 09:33:06 EDT 
I assume that Ted has been testing ssh.
Comment 5 David McKnight CLA 2009-06-23 12:09:06 EDT 
Assuming this is via SSH, the reason this doesn't work is because the
TerminalShellService does not provide an implemenation of:        

IShellService.getHostEnvironment()

so it defaults to an empty list.
Comment 6 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2009-06-23 12:54:12 EDT 
I think there's an existing bug for SSH to provide environment support... can you mark this one as dependent on that one?

Martin, is bug 244404 the one you're referring to?
