Comment 1 Parag Nemade 2014-10-10 03:27:24 UTC
For me this is working fine on Fedora 21. I just did
"sudo dnf install <TAB><TAB>" 
and this gave me
Display all 36406 possibilities? (y or n)

sudo dnf install <TAB><TABZ

Are you both using the same dnf-0.6.2-1.fc21.noarch version? I think the issue is present only in this most recent version; did you reboot since then? Or try starting a new bash with 'bash' to reload the bash completion, and then dnf install <TAB><TAB> again.

Comment 4 Parag Nemade 2014-10-10 06:59:43 UTC
Yes. Before commenting here I already reboot and using 
$ rpm -qa dnf*
dnf-0.6.2-1.fc21.noarch
dnf-plugins-core-0.1.3-1.fc21.noarch

Also, now I tested bash completion with success in my fedora 21 alpha VM also.

Do you have the file /var/cache/dnf/available.cache? I don't have it on my machine, and thus part of the command used for completion is

COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W '$( dnf --cacheonly list $cur* 2>/dev/null | cut -d' ' -f1 )' -- "$cur" ) )

from the line https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/6eceb2b4b7d37df72367e37ca5b49c4cc8061e8a/etc/bash_completion.d/dnf-completion.bash#L77

I can't run this line in bash without error, apparently due to the use of ' quoting inside ' quotes.

Comment 6 Volker Sobek 2014-10-10 11:08:08 UTC
/var/cache/dnf/available.cache is generated by the generate_completion_cache plugin from dnf-plugins-core, so you don't get this error when you have dnf-plugins-core installed.

Comment 7 Honza Silhan 2014-10-10 11:30:14 UTC
Igor, can you take a look, please?

Comment 8 Parag Nemade 2014-10-10 14:50:08 UTC
Yes. Igor re-wrote the bash completion so he is the contact person to look into this issue.

I have not further tested but looks like as dnf-plugins-core package being avoided to be pulled by default or in other words dnf don't need dnf-plugins-core when installed, bash completion code need to consider this issue. But I am not sure if we can have dnf bash completion working without dnf-plugins-core package.

Comment 9 Parag Nemade 2014-10-10 14:53:51 UTC
just removed dnf-plugins-core and cache files and yes I can reproduce this successfully. This really need to be fixed.

Comment 10 Igor Gnatenko 2014-10-10 16:07:38 UTC
I will take a look at this weekend. Thanks for reporting

Comment 11 Igor Gnatenko 2014-10-10 21:45:45 UTC

Fixed.

I've implemented more better caching and one of commits fixing completion without dnf-plugins-core. you can clone my sqlite branch, execute `source etc/bash_completion.d/dnf-completion.bash` and try dnf install <TAB><TAB>.

It works for me now.
