completions breaking on zsh upgrade

December 4th, 2008

If you upgrade zsh and suddenly find that certain completion functions are breaking and throwing up all over your terminal, remember to delete ~/.zcompdump.

For instance, when I upgraded one of my systems from 4.3.4 to 4.3.9, I would get the following error whenever I tried to complete a command name:

alternative:69: command not found: _path_commands

This gets me every time.
