Description
I remember to have had tab completion for rudder* commands.
In my current testing round, it seems there is none.
I logged out and back in, the dependencies are there.
root@svc-debian9-687:~# dpkg -l | grep rudder
ii rudder-agent 6.0.0~beta1-debian9 amd64 Configuration management and audit tool - agent
root@svc-debian9-687:~# cat /etc/debian_version
9.5
root@svc-debian9-687:~# aptitude search bash-com
i bash-completion - programmable completion for the bash shell
So I suspect it was a contrib bit that hasn't made it into the agent or got lost or something.
Or I dreamed up the whole thing? (don't think so)
It makes quite the difference in usability though.
Hi Florian, completion files are still packaged under /etc/bash_completion.d/.
We do not set the bash-completion as a dependency since it is not mandatory to run rudder.
But we should definitely put it as a recommended dependency
Installing the bash-completion package should make it works as you expect it to :)

Hi,
please have a look at my first post - i had bash completion installed, but it didn't kick in for 'rudder<tab>'
does it work for you like this?
correction - it's there it's working, it just works a bit odd.
root@svc-debian9-687:~# rudder age<tab>
agent directive help relay remote server
Here it should resolv to rudder agent already. It works quite badly that's why i thought it doesn't work. But maybe that's just how bash does it, i have been on other equipment for a lot of time recently.
So i think they apt-recommend solution is good! Not sure what is wrong with the completion.
