First of all, thank you for this fantastic app!

I was trying to add completions for the CLI. The help page only mentions spt --completions zsh, so I assume you add completions just like with other CLIs by using eval. However, when I try to run that, I get:

eval "$(spt --completions zsh)"
_arguments:comparguments:325: can only be called from completion function

I couldn't find any info in the readme or help page indicating that completions have to be added differently?

Try adding the completions output to a location in your $fpath.
And the use autoload -U compinit && compinit to load the completions.

just because it was also my first time consuming bash completions like this. I created a new folder in my home directory .bash_autocompletions/ and added it to my $fpath.

I then put the output into a file and most importantly name it the same as the executable and prefix it with an underscore! Don't be dumb and call it spotify-tui

mkdir ~/.bash_autocompletions.d
spt --completions zsh > ~/.bash_autocompletions/_spt

add to your bash dotfile in my case .zshrc

fpath=(~/.bash_completion.d/ $fpath)
autoload -U compinit && compinit

refresh and you should see it working as expected.

Right, that was actually it, forgot to close the issue afterwards.
