zsh completion of packages does not work about rosmon HOT 4 OPEN

1) *.launch:globbed-files Error

I think one of the problems is when you source using the standard setup.zsh it doesn't load/use the environment hooks correctly:

➜  source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.zsh 
➜  mon launch 
(eval):1: no matches found: *.launch:globbed-files

A workaround is to directly source the rosmon environment hooks:

➜  source /opt/ros/melodic/etc/catkin/profile.d/50-rosmon.zsh

This avoids the *.launch:globbed-files error.

2) _values:compvalues:11: not enough arguments Error

There is another error:

➜  mon launch image_geometry 
_values:compvalues:11: not enough arguments
_values:compvalues:11: not enough arguments
_values:compvalues:11: not enough arguments

And I have a fix for it - it's because even with an empty string the size of files is 1.
In https://github.com/xqms/rosmon/blob/master/rosmon_core/env-hooks/50-rosmon.zsh#L47

		if [[ $#files -gt 0 ]] && [[ -n $files ]]; then
			_values 'launch files' $files
		fi

Hm, I don't use zsh myself. I doubt that there has been a regression (the zsh completion code has remained largely unchanged), probably you are hitting a problem that was always there.

If you are interested in this, feel free to look into it - as mentioned, I'm not a zsh expert myself...

Yes, most likely this is no degradation.

I'll have a look at it. One of the problems is in here:

if there is no launch file in this directory globbing fails and thus this error is reported.

Hey, thanks for the information :)

Regarding 1): As far as I know the setup.zsh should do exactly the same as directly sourcing our file... Maybe it's an ordering issue? Maybe we get loaded too early in setup.zsh?

Regarding 2): Nice! Maybe we can prepare a PR to collect the fixes. I don't have time to work on this right now, though (and zsh is pretty low on my priority list, as I don't use it :-P).
