Good catch, but the right fix is to use command grep, like most of the uses of grep in bash-completion do. --color=never isn't portable to systems where grep isn't GNU grep. So yes, this is a bug, and bash-completion is supposed to not break even if you have alias grep='cat /dev/random'
But yes, --color=auto usually works better. If you ever make one- liners on the cmdline, you're shooting yourself in the foot unless you like remembering to type command grep, or \grep. Like less $(ls foo/bar | grep something). On the other hand, less -R can handle color escape codes these days, and even matches searches in coloured text. Hmm, that's pretty nice actually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1330173 Title: bash-completion of Makefile: invalid option name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/1330173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
