bash-completion @2.0: not autocompleting ssh known_hosts

[jithin1987@…]

I am using bash-completion @2.0 and bash version 4.2.42(2)-release (i386-apple-darwin11.4.2). I also tried with bash from macports but bash-completion is not autocompleting ssh hostnames. And my hostnames are not hashed.

Thanks for the ticket. In the future, please try to Cc relevant port maintainers. Also, you don’t have to Cc yourself if you’re the one reporting the ticket :)

I can't reproduce the issue. If I use ssh <Tab> I see the hosts from my .ssh/known_hosts.

Can you please try to get me the debug output using these commands?

$ script bash-completion.txt
$ set -x
$ ssh <Tab>
$ exit

Then attach the resulting bash-completion.txt to this ticket. Please review the file beforehand and check whether it contains any private information (hostnames and IP addresses).

Debug steps

I just looked at this report again by chance. I only recognized now that you were using bash 3.2 in the log output provided above. bash-completion requires at least bash >= 4.1. See also port notes bash-completion.
