Let me show you a simple example, assuming there is a Documents/ folder in $HOME, of this bug

julia> cd("~/Doc

and hitting <TAB> one gets

julia> cd("~/Documents/")
ERROR: chdir ~/Documents/: no such file or directory (ENOENT)
Stacktrace:
 [1] uv_error at ./libuv.jl:68 [inlined]
 [2] cd(::String) at ./file.jl:50

whichever is the current directory.

This is because we don't perform tilde expansion in paths. See #1136

@ararslan Then <TAB> should give nothing. But that's not what happens

@iagobaapellaniz iagobaapellaniz changed the title <TAB> completion for "~" works but it is an invalid path <TAB> completion for "~" should hint nothing Jun 28, 2017

Can we just improve this error message by checking if ~ is in the result, and suggesting user possibly call expanduser if so?
