RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 4 Sharath Dwaral 2013-08-28 18:42:02 UTC 
>> In tab completion displaying -h or --help option after choosing an option displays differently. This is shown below


# subscription-manager repos <tab tab>
--disable        --enable         -h               --help           --list           --proxy          --proxypassword  --proxyuser

>> Say if i choose an option '--list' and tab complete again i get this

# subscription-manager repos --list -
--disable        --enable         -h               --help           --list           --proxy          --proxypassword  --proxyuser

>> Now choosing '-h' or '--help' will list help menu as shown

# subscription-manager repos --list --h
Usage: subscription-manager repos [OPTIONS]

List the repositories which this system is entitled to use

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --proxy=PROXY_URL     proxy URL in the form of proxy_hostname:proxy_port
  --proxyuser=PROXY_USER
                        user for HTTP proxy with basic authentication
  --proxypassword=PROXY_PASSWORD
                        password for HTTP proxy with basic authentication
  --list                list known repos for this system
  --enable=REPOID       repo to enable (can be specified more than once).
                        Wildcards (* and ?) are supported.
  --disable=REPOID      repo to disable (can be specified more than once).
                        Wildcards (* and ?) are supported

>> choosing '--enable' with -h or --help throws error as shown

 subscription-manager repos --enable --help
Error: --help is not a valid repo ID. Use --list option to see valid repos.

>> The behavior is different. It errors out when the option expects a string value after it and it displays the help menu when it does not expect a string.

    1001820: fix autocompletion
Comment 11 John Sefler 2013-09-13 18:51:27 UTC 
Testing Version...
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager bash-completion
subscription-manager-1.9.6-1.el6.x86_64
bash-completion-1.3-7.el6.noarch


[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager status --help
Usage: subscription-manager status [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --proxy=PROXY_URL     proxy URL in the form of proxy_hostname:proxy_port
  --proxyuser=PROXY_USER
                        user for HTTP proxy with basic authentication

                        password for HTTP proxy with basic authentication
  --ondate=ON_DATE      future date to check status on, defaults to today's
                        date (example: 2013-09-13)
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager status -<TAB><TAB>
-h               --help           --proxy          --proxypassword  --proxyuser

^^^ BANG! Also expected bash completion option for --ondate

commit 1a4e71d8bd3ec1bd0faa9bbe166bd83ca09cee8a
Author: Carter Kozak <ckozak>
Date:   Sat Sep 14 10:04:34 2013 -0400

    1001820: added ondate to completion
Comment 13 Bryan Kearney 2013-09-26 18:19:43 UTC 
fixed in subscription-manager-1.9.7-1
Comment 14 John Sefler 2013-09-27 16:50:33 UTC 
Verifying Version...
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager bash-completion
subscription-manager-1.9.7-1.el6.x86_64
bash-completion-1.3-7.el6.noarch

[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager status -<TAB><TAB>
-h               --help           --ondate         --proxy          --proxypassword  --proxyuser   


VERIFIED: Option --ondate is now included in the tab completion choices for the status module


QE Note: An automated BashCompletionTests.java has been implemented to assert all of the expected bash completions for subscription-manager module options.
