Trouble shooting

Tab completition in zsh

Symptom: comand nof found: complete

For Tab completion in zsh use the following lines in the .zshrc or the sourced .bash_profile [s]:

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
source ~/.wp-cli/wp-completion.bash

Trouble with remote $PATH

Symptom:command not found: wp

See: Making WP-CLI accessible on a remote server (WP Handbook)
=> third solution (before_ssh) worked for me (dont forget the <?php ... ?> Tags in the included file)

Long time no see affable space durian!
