Description Lingfei Kong 2014-05-23 03:16:41 UTC

Description of problem:
I can get 541 APIs by pressing <TAB> in guestfish interactive model, but only 503 APIs can find in `guestfish -h` command list.

The lost 38 APIs:
 add
 add-drive-opts
 add-ro
 allocate
 append
 attach-method
 autosync
 cachedir
 direct
 domain
 emacs
 exit
 grep-opts
 less
 manual
 memsize
 mkfs-opts
 mkswap-opts
 network
 ntfsresize-opts
 path
 pgroup
 pid
 q
 qemu
 recovery-proc
 run
 selinux
 smp
 tar-in-opts
 tar-out-opts
 tmpdir
 trace
 umount-opts
 unmount
 unmount-all
 verbose
 vi

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.20.11-3.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get all APIs by run command `guestfish -h`
2. Enter into guestfish interactive model
3. Get all the APIs by pressing <TAB> in guestfish command
4. diff the APIs you get at step 1 and step 3


Actual results:
38 APIs appear in step 3 command list and not appear in step 1 command list


Expected results:
The command list of step 1 and step 3 are the same

Comment 5 Hu Zhang 2014-12-10 09:49:56 UTC

Could reproduce the bug.

Packages Version:
libguestfs-1.20.11-12.el6.x86_64

Reproduce steps:
1. Get all APIs by run command `guestfish -h`
   It returns 531 APIs.
2. Enter into guestfish interactive model
3. Get all the APIs by pressing <TAB> in guestfish command
   It returns 541 possible APIs.
So there is still a quantitative difference.

Not fixed.

Most of the difference is due to the -opts commands, which are not meant to be documented. See also bug 1100528, comment 2.

The other two commands not listed in -h are "exit" and "q", both aliases for "quit", which makes sense only in interactive mode (guestfish in non-interactive mode already quits on its own after the last command).

Moving back to ON_QA.

Comment 7 Hu Zhang 2015-03-10 07:07:34 UTC

Verified with the package Version:
libguestfs-1.20.11-12.el6.x86_64

Reproduce steps:
1. Get all APIs by run command `guestfish -h`
   It returns 531 APIs.
2. Enter into guestfish interactive model
3. Get all the APIs by pressing <TAB> in guestfish command
   It returns 541 possible APIs.

According to the Comment #6, fixed.
