zsh completion doesn't work

[kraymond37]

I create a completion command as this said. Bash completion works well, in contrast, zsh doesn't work.
Did I miss something? I like cobra very much, and really wish it could work.

How do you load your completion script?
I think you need to do yourprogram completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_yourprogram"

@Luap99 is probably right and it points out that the documentation is mis-leading:
https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blame/master/shell_completions.md#L36
I'll post a PR.

@Luap99 Thanks. I found source didn't work, and yourprogram completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_yourprogram" didn't work either. Both yourprogram completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_yourprogram" and compinit should be executed, and sometimes also need to relogin shell.

Thanks @kraymond37, we have updated #1169 to include that information.
If that is satisfactory, would you mind closing this issue here?
