For everyone having build issues with the shell completion, follow the following steps:
~/.copilot/pkg foldermakepkg, use -CThat should solve your problem. However, if the issue persists, build your package in a clean chroot environment.
There aren't problems with packaging, and nothing will be changed on our side, so avoid commenting on a problem that has already been discussed many times. Thanks!
I fixed the installation on my machine using the following instructions.
Build package in a clean chroot environment:
sudo pacman -S manjaro-chrootbuild
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/github-copilot-cli-bin.git
cd github-copilot-cli-bin
sudo chrootbuild -c -p .
Install package:
sudo pacman -U ./github-copilot-cli-bin-1.0.44-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Verify installation:
pacman -Q github-copilot-cli-bin
pacman -Ql github-copilot-cli-bin | grep '/bin/'
copilot --version
I had the same issue. I fixed it by first running 'copilot update' to ensure that it could generate completions. Then the PKGBUILD succeeded
These problems are residuals of old installations, usually. Please try building in a clean chroot environment or make sure that ~/.copilot/pkg was correctly deleted before building with your AUR helper.
I get an error trying to update this package, even after I did rm -rf ~/.copilot/pkg:

Did you mean: copilot -i "completion bash"?
For non-interactive mode, use the -p or --prompt option.
Try 'copilot --help' for more information.

Thanks, you were right. I checked again and confirmed it was caused by my local build environment. A stale cache under ~/.copilot/pkg was affecting the copilot runtime during the build. After removing that cache, the package built successfully. Sorry about that, and thanks for your help.
The build happens correctly in a clean chroot environment, and there aren't indications of "the current upstream copilot CLI no longer supports the completion subcommand" as per https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/releases/tag/v1.0.43. There aren't issues with packaging. Fix your build environment
Hi, the current PKGBUILD for github-copilot-cli-bin 1.0.43-1 fails during package(). It tries to run: copilot completion bash copilot completion zsh copilot completion fish But the current upstream copilot CLI no longer supports the completion subcommand, so makepkg fails with: "error: Invalid command format." I tested a local fix by removing the shell completion generation lines, and the package builds successfully. Could you please update the PKGBUILD? Thanks.
