irb3.0 no longer does tab completion on filenames

[simon-dedeo]

Description

in irb2.5:

rb(main):001:0> source 'li [then I hit tab...]
linking.rb list_load.rb list_load_OLD.rb

irb(main):001:0> source 'lis [then I hit tab again...]
list_load.rb list_load_OLD.rb

irb(main):001:0> source 'list_load.rb' [then I hit tab again...]

in irb3.0, hitting tab after typing "source 'li" gives.

irb(main):001:0' source 'li'

[aycabta]

The default completion logic in GNU Readline is filename completion, as IRB-specific completion was disabled before Ruby 2.6, so filenames were completed everywhere. So filename completion no longer works for now.

Thank you!

Closing, as there won't be a fix.

Or did I misunderstand @aycabta and you are considering doing tab completion for paths when typing a string?

This is implemented by #212.
