shell init issue when click tab, what's wrong with getcwd?
This usually occurs when your current directory does not exist anymore. Most likely, from another terminal you remove that directory (from within a script or whatever). To get rid of this, in case your current directory was recreated in the meantime, just cd
to another (existing) directory and then cd
back; the simplest would be: cd; cd -
.
By chance, is this occurring on a directory using OverlayFS (or some other special file system type)?
I just had this issue where my cross-compiled version of bash would use an internal implementation of getcwd
which has issues with OverlayFS. I found information about this here:
It seems that this can be traced to an internal implementation of getcwd() in bash. When cross-compiled, it can't check for getcwd() use of malloc, so it is cautious and sets GETCWD_BROKEN and uses an internal implementation of getcwd(). This internal implementation doesn't seem to work well with OverlayFS.

You can configure and rebuild bash with bash_cv_getcwd_malloc=yes
(if you're actually building bash and your C library does malloc a getcwd call).
