Cannot get zi completion to work

[Kritiqual]

Here is my config:

zshrc

if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
  source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
fi

source "${ZI[BIN_DIR]}/zi.zsh"
autoload -Uz _zi
(( ${+_comps} )) && _comps[zi]=_zi

zi ice depth"1"
zi light romkatv/powerlevel10k

zi is-snippet wait lucid for \
    OMZP::{git,sudo,extract,aliases}

autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

[[ ! -f ~/.config/zsh/.p10k.zsh ]] || source ~/.config/zsh/.p10k.zsh

zshenv

typeset -A ZI
export ZI[HOME_DIR]="${HOME}/.local/zi"
export ZI[BIN_DIR]="$ZI[HOME_DIR]/bin"
export ZI[PLUGINS_DIR]="$ZI[HOME_DIR]/plugins"
export ZI[COMPLETIONS_DIR]="$ZI[HOME_DIR]/completions"
export ZI[SNIPPETS_DIR]="$ZI[HOME_DIR]/snippets"
export ZI[ZMODULES_DIR]="$ZI[HOME_DIR]/zmodules"
export ZI[ZCOMPDUMP_PATH]=$XDG_DATA_HOME:-$ZDOTDIR:-$HOME/.zcompdump
export ZPFX="$ZI[HOME_DIR]/polaris"
export ZI[MAN_DIR]="$ZPFX/man"

Error says: (eval):1: _zi: function definition file not found. What setting did I do wrong?

Hi 👋.

In your zshenv, there is a lot of variable useless, the only variable really useful iw home_dir.

See https://wiki.zshell.dev/docs/guides/customization#customizing-paths for more informations.

Try this .zshrc. It should be faster and should correct your problems. Tell us if errors.

if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
  source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
fi

typeset -Ag ZI
export ZI[HOME_DIR]="${HOME}/.local/zi"

if [[ -r "${ZI[HOME_DIR]}/zi/init.zsh" ]]; then
  source "${ZI[HOME_DIR]}/zi/init.zsh" && zzinit
else
  source <(curl -sL https://init.zshell.dev); zzinit
fi

autoload -Uz $fpath[1]/*(.:t)

snippets=({git,sudo,extract,aliases}.zsh)
zi ice has'svn' svn multisrc'$snippets' pick'/dev/null' \
atinit'HISTFILE=${ZSH_CACHE_DIR}/.zsh-history; COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS=true;'

zi light-mode for z-shell/z-a-meta-plugins @annexes @romkatv

alias reload!='exec "$SHELL" -l'
alias reload-zsh!='exec zsh -l'

I'll try it and give you some feedback

You missed and did not set the ZI hash and value. As described in the wiki: https://wiki.zshell.dev/docs/getting_started/installation#manual-setup

This probably happened because expected that .zshenv is always sourced which is true but it's sourced only on login or manually running: exec zsh -l.

It should be adjusted in the file: ~/.zshrc:

typeset -A ZI
ZI[BIN_DIR]="${HOME}/.zi/bin"
source "${ZI[BIN_DIR]}/zi.zsh"

then enable the completion:

autoload -Uz _zi
(( ${+_comps} )) && _comps[zi]=_zi

Alternatively can directly source Zi with no parameter:

source /your/path/to/zi.zsh

This is equal to:

typeset -A ZI
ZI[BIN_DIR]="${HOME}/.zi/bin"
source "${ZI[BIN_DIR]}/zi.zsh"

Zi will create and assign the environment default values as described on the wiki: https://wiki.zshell.dev/docs/guides/customization#customizing-paths
