Docker compose doesn't auto complete anymore

Docker Engine Compose
1

I use docker compose command to start my stack.
Normally I can also start and stop a container with the command this works fine.

So for example docker compose stop portainer

What I found out is that version 25 on a Raspberry PI running on 64Bit Bookworm Raspberry OS won’t autocomplete anymore.

so if I type docker compose stop por{tab} it doesn’t complete it anymore.

And I know this has worked in the past. Is there a change or is this a bug?

Hi

When you install docker it should install the autocomplete files.
Do you have this file: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/docker ?

also can you provide the result of:

apt list bash-completion

I do have that command.

This is the output of the command :

pi@pi-server:~ $ apt list bash-completion
Listing… Done
bash-completion/stable,stable,now 1:2.11-6 all [installed]

Command auto completing is ok it is more the container name auto completion that is not working wel.

Same issue here on Ubuntu. I’ve been using this for ages. After last update it doesn’t work anymore.

+1 - except specifically I’m getting a list of services, just no partial completion. If I try to use docker compose logs postgr<TAB> I just get a full list of services rather than the only possible match, postgres in my case

Yesterday I did an apt update and there was a new update for docker. I works now fine om my test environment but on my “production” environment it still is not working. Compared the version and all are the same. Is there something else I can check?
