Subject: [PATCH datacenter-manager 1/2] fix: cli: replace completion file suffix from `.bc` to `.bash`
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 17:35:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206163519.218579-2-s.shaji@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206163519.218579-1-s.shaji@proxmox.com>
The completions were not working because of the file name extension of
the completion file. According to the `bash-completion` documentation,
completion file needs to have a `.bash` suffix or without any suffix.
documentation quote:
> The completion filename for command `foo` in this directory should be
> `foo.bash`. Unsuffixed foo also works, but it is deprecated in >= 2.18.
Since the .bash extension works on the current 2.16 bash-completion
version available in debian, replaced the `.bc` suffix with `.bash`
