goto does not work for me on MacOS 10.15

[ndsvw]

I can install goto without having any problems via brew but it won't start.

brew install goto

/usr/local/Cellar/goto/1.2.3: 6 files, 18.9KB, built in 4 seconds

If I try starting it:
goto

zsh: command not found: goto

With MacOs 10.15, Apple changed the default shell on MacOS to zsh. Maybe that's the problem..

I tried solving this issue by doing this (without success): #36 (comment)

---

OS: MacOS 10.15.1
Shell: zsh (default shell)
goto Version: 1.2.3 (newest version I get via brew install goto)
never had such a problem with any brew package

Hi @ndsvw ,

I will try to to the same asap in my mac and let you know.

Thanks for the detailed feedback.

Reporting that I had the same issue, and I understand this doesn't help the install with brew, but I did have success simply using the manual method FWIW. So you can use it that way in the meantime @ndsvw

I just ran into this issue, and it appears that the actual binary is not part the things installed; /usr/local/Cellar/goto/1.2.3 does not contain a binary.
-- EDIT --
Of course by binary I mean the shell script 😅

@iridakos, can you update the brew-version of goto?
The lastest version of goto on brew is 1.2.3 (from 14 Mar 2018).

Hi @ndsvw ,

I created a release and I will try to update the version in Brew as well. Unfortunately I no longer have access to a MacOS system and I can't test if the functionality is working on ZSH there. Do you have any updates on this?

@ndsvw Here's the pull request to Homebrew Homebrew/homebrew-core#49477

Having the same issue here.

zsh: command not found: goto

Having same issue

OS: macos 10.15.6
Brew: 2.5.1
goto: 2.0.0

This solved it for me:

add this to your ~./zshrc file and source it or start a new terminal session

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
source /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/goto.sh

goto <tab>

showed all my previously defined aliases

but trying to call them errored

goto mydir
goto error: unregistered alias mydir

I had to reregister my aliases with

goto -r <alias> <directory>

and this solved it.

helpful link Can a Bash tab-completion script be used in zsh?

[dcchambers]

If you're still using bash with MacOS instead of zsh and are encountering this error, you can add this to your .bash_profile to fix this error:

source $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/goto.sh

[davidgourde]

I can source goto.sh to have the script works, but I cannot get the auto-completion work at all. When I press after writing "goto ", I get the auto-completion of the current folder's files instead... I tried all the solutions listed here. 😭

Note: The same .zshrc lines works on my Windows + WSL machine, but not on my MacOS (Monterey)

[silent-tan]

hope this can help u if u install goto via script : )

check if following code in your ~/.zshrc, and append it if not

# Source goto
[[ -s "/usr/local/share/goto.sh" ]] && source /usr/local/share/goto.sh

the reason it not work maybe you have both .bashrc and .zshrc

goto/install
