Hi. When I first installed ROS Groovy, most of its commands had autocomplete and I found it very useful.
For some reason, autocomplete of ros command arguments (topic, service, package and node names) is not working any more. Any ideas how to get it to work again?
Autocompletion is activated using setup.bash instead of setup.sh.
Hello! I have the same problem, when I use ssh connection. On the original computer tab completion works, but when I connect to it via ssh I cannot use tab completion :(
I get the following error, after writing roscd [+tab]
roscd terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Anyone had the same problem?
UP: I have "source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash" in my .bashrc

Could you try a clean shell where you don't source specific files and set no environment variables and the just source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash (assuming you use bash) and see if it works. (For me amd64/groovy updated today completion works).
What lines in the setup.bash script are responsible for tab completion? In some of my nodes, rosrun doesn't tab complete and I'd like to debug upwards from the root of the problem.
