Summary: bash-completion-1.3 doesn't work for "sudo /etc/init.d/xxx <TAB>"
Distribution: Gentoo
Originally reported in: Gentoo Bugzilla
Milestone: 2.0
Status: Fix Committed
Original bug number: 360083
Initial Comment:
After typing "sudo /etc/init.d/sshd <TAB>", local files instead of command
options(start, stop, etc.) are listed.
The old version 1.2 works fine.
I noticed that the code "complete -p $cmd" has been changed to "complete -p
${cmd##*/}".
Maybe you can check twice: first "complete -p $cmd", and if it fails, run
"complete -p ${cmd##*/}"?

It did indeed. Current git has series of patches to fix this.

Well, as said, it works for me on Fedora 14 both with current git and the 1.3
release.
But then again, I do think it's a bug that we register completion for plain
"foo" for /etc/init.d/foo and will look into changing that in git to register
only the full path /etc/init.d/foo and /etc/rc.d/init.d/foo (and "service
foo"); maybe that'll uncover the issue you see for me too.

Message:
well... my point is: it is a bug of _root_command, which is the completion
function for sudo.
Actually, the function _gentoo_style_init is never called!
Gentoo registers a completion function _gentoo_style_init for the commands like
/etc/init.d/XXX.
After typing "sudo /etc/init.d/XXX <TAB>", _root_command should complete
"/etc/init.d/XXX" by calling _gentoo_style_init. Right?
But the version 1.3 code first extracts the command, in this case,
"/etc/init.d/XXX", strips away the path and gets the filename, which is XXX,
and then seeks for the completion function for XXX.
But XXX is not registered, instead, /etc/init.d/XXX is.

Message:
_gentoo_style_init is not our function, so I suggest investigating this with
Gentoo. If anybody can reproduce this with the completions shipped by us, feel
free to reopen.

Message:
james@localhost ~ $ complete | grep sshd
complete -F _gentoo_style_init /etc/init.d/sshd
So I only have completion for /etc/init.d/sshd, no completion for sshd.
Let me make it clearer:
for any service(not only sshd) in the directory of /etc/init.d
1. "/etc/init.d/XXX <TAB>" works correctly by listing options like start, stop,
etc.
2. "sudo /etc/init.d/XXX <TAB>" lists local files

Works fine for me. Do you have a separate completion for sshd installed - what
does "complete -p sshd" output for you?
