How to load completions #76

How does one go about loading custom completions with znap?
As a reference, I'm starting with zsh-users/zsh-completions and testing if I can run any of the completion functions in there.
Here's my .zshrc:

source ~/zsh/zsh-snap/znap.zsh
znap source zsh-users/zsh-completions

I can see the zsh-completions/src folder with the completion files has been cloned and added to fpath, but none of the functions are actually loaded and none of the completions work.

silver% _sbt
zsh: command not found: _sbt

If I instead swap out the zshrc for this:

autoload -Uz compinit
source ~/zsh/zsh-completions/zsh-completions.plugin.zsh
compinit

completions work as expected.

silver% sbt
clean            -- delete files produced by the build
compile          -- compile sources
...

Trying to call the compinit functions before / after sourcing znap doesn't seem to help.
What am I missing?

Copying here as an answer:

It's these lines in /etc/zsh/zshrc on ubuntu & friends (at least in version 20.10):

# If you don't want compinit called here, place the line
# skip_global_compinit=1
# in your $ZDOTDIR/.zshenv
if grep -q '^ID.*=.*ubuntu' /etc/os-release && [[ -z "$skip_global_compinit" ]]; then
  autoload -U compinit
  compinit
fi

Adding skip_global_compinit=1 to ~/.zshenv fixed the problem on both my Pop! OS and Ubuntu machines.

It works fine for me. Here's what I did:

% cd $(mktemp -d); exec env -i PS1='%# ' HOME=$PWD TERM=$TERM zsh -f 
% git clone --depth 1 -- https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-snap.git; source zsh-snap/install.zsh

Can you please try the steps above and let me know if they work for you?

I can confirm it works. I also tested with a modified zdotdir, and in my normal home dir, and it works as long as I use env -i. So there seems to be something in my environment that breaks znap's completions.

Interesting. Can you post the output of env? Maybe I can spot the offending entry.

AHA! Found it. So, it's not the env after all. It's these lines in /etc/zsh/zshrc:

# If you don't want compinit called here, place the line
# skip_global_compinit=1
# in your $ZDOTDIR/.zshenv
if grep -q '^ID.*=.*ubuntu' /etc/os-release && [[ -z "$skip_global_compinit" ]]; then
  autoload -U compinit
  compinit
fi

Adding skip_global_compinit=1 to ~/.zshenv fixed the problem on both my POP OS and Ubuntu machines.

Right, Ubuntu automatically calls compinit in /etc/zshrc, unless $skip_global_compinit has been set.

I should test with those files. Thanks for letting me know!
