shub schedule [auto complete?]

[umrashrf]

Auto completing spider names from spiders directory would be awesome!

This would indeed be very cool, but it's hard to implement since auto completion is a feature of the shell (bash/zsh/etc.) and not of the program itself. At least that is true for tab completion.

There are ways to extend the shell's auto completion, but these involve messing with system/user files (e.g. http://ifacethoughts.net/2009/04/06/extending-bash-auto-completion/ and http://click.pocoo.org/5/bashcomplete/)

What should be not too hard to implement is supporting partial spider names as argument, e.g.

$ shub schedule ho
INFO: Completing 'ho' to existing spider name 'hotels'
Spider hotels scheduled, job ID: 12345/6/78
...

Dunno if it's worth it though.

Hey, since click is being used, we could use https://github.com/click-contrib/click-repl? It would add a repl command which would then add in completions of all sorts (and colors, fuzzy finder, history, etc.). I'd take a stab at this if we want to go that way. (For an example of what it might look like, I suggested a similar issue over at core-api/coreapi-cli#20).
