command not found: __start_kubectl

Question

I installed kubectl and tried enable shell autocompletion for zsh. When I'm using kubectl autocompletion works fine. Howewer when I'm trying use autocompletion with alias k then shell return me

k g...(eval):1: command not found: __start_kubectl                                                                                                                            8:45 
(eval):1: command not found: __start_kubectl
(eval):1: command not found: __start_kubectl

In my .zshrc file I have:

source <(kubectl completion zsh)
alias k=kubectl
compdef __start_kubectl k

Before sourcing the zsh completion scripts, have you added `autoload -U +X compinit && compinit` to your .zshrc? — theUndying, Jan 10 '22 at 09:30
I haven't added `autoload -U +X compinit && compinit`, however when I did it now, it didn't help — Dawid Krok, Jan 11 '22 at 10:24

After execute `compdef _kubectl k` and input `k g` and pres tab, shell return me ```o matches: `completions' or `filename'``` – Dawid Krok Jan 11 '22 at 10:21

add the following to the beginning of your ~/.zshrc file:

autoload -Uz compinit
compinit

then restart your terminal.
