Custom spec files not being loaded

[ulisses-cruz]

I've installed carapace:

brew install carapace

I've added the following lines to my zsh config:

export CARAPACE_BRIDGES='zsh,fish,bash,inshellisense' # optional
zstyle ':completion:*' format $'\e[2;37mCompleting %d\e[m'
source <(carapace _carapace)

And added my custom spec .yaml files to ~/.config/carapace/spec/, but they are not being loaded.

Am I missing something?

1. check if it is actually the path where they are loaded from carapace -h

Specs are loaded from [.../carapace/specs]

2. make sure to start a new shell for new specs (or execute source <(carapace _carapace))
3. the spec filename must match the command
4. this might also help:

carapace --list --all --format json | jq 'with_entries( select(.value | has("Spec")) )'

Thanks @rsteube, that was the issue, my installation is loading specs from ~/Library/Application Support/carapace/specs.

Is there an environment variable, or another way to set the carapace config dir to a different place?

Yes, that's the default UserConfigDir on mac (examples in the docs often just show the linux version).
You can set XDG_CONFIG_HOME which carapace acknowledges on all operation systems, but it will likely affect other commands as well.
