#290 Not compatible with bash-completion 2.14.0

[Jozef Riha]

On ever since I updated bash-completion to 2.14.0 (from 2.11) on my Arch system, I am getting the following while tuxpaint-completion.bash is loaded:

have: command not found

It's a bit odd though that this only happens with Czech and Slovak locales. After receiving the error the completion for tuxpaint is not working.

$ export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
$ bash
$ # no error

$ export LC_ALL=sk_SK.utf8
$ bash
bash: have: príkaz nenájdený
(translates to command not found)

$ export LC_ALL=cs_CZ.utf8
$ bash
bash: have: příkaz nenalezen
(translates to command not found)

This may also be an issue of bash-completion itself - perhaps someone has an idea what's going on. For now the downgrade to 2.11 solves the problem.

Briefly Googling around it seems have was deprecated. I'm replacing it with _have. Can you try modifying your tuxpaint-completion.bash in the same way and check that it works under bash-completion 2.14? (I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 here, with 2.11, so unable to replicate it, even if I switch to e.g. cs_CZ locale.)

Hello William,

the problem on my system is as follows:

# ls -1 /etc/bash_completion.d
tuxpaint-completion.bash
000_bash_completion_compat.bash

As can be observed tuxpaint-completion.bash is sourced before 000_bash_completion_compat.bash while it's the latter file that contains the definition of the _have function:

# grep _have 000_bash_completion_compat.bash | head -1
_comp_deprecate_func 2.12 _have _comp_have_command

I see two possible workarounds:

• rename tuxpaint-completion.bash to 010_tuxpaint-completion.bash to make sure it gets loaded after bash_completion
• use _comp_have_command instead of _have (as it seems to just be a wrapper around it:

 # type _have
_have is a function
_have () 
{ 
    _comp_have_command "$@"
}

And the reason why you may get different output with different locales:

# LANG=C ls -1
000_bash_completion_compat.bash
tuxpaint-completion.bash

vs

# LANG=sk_SK.utf8 ls -1
tuxpaint-completion.bash
000_bash_completion_compat.bash

So this seems to have been a known bug in bash-completion (https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/issues/1207). That said, since it's obviously out in the wild and affecting people, I'll go with the rename route (010_tuxpaint-completion.bash). Thanks!
