Bash completion is broken when readline menu-complete is used

[averms]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

Description

When the tab button is used for menu-complete instead of complete with Readline the completion script adds the description of options to the completed line.

The relevant documentation for Readline.
StackOverflow answer that explains why menu-complete is so nice.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Add TAB: menu-complete to .inputrc.
2. Open bash and type podman --c<TAB>
3. Note that podman --cgroup-manager (Cgroup manager to use ("cgroupfs"|"systemd")) is added to the current line.
4. Press enter and get bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Describe the results you received:

The description for the options is added to the completed line.

Describe the results you expected:

Only the actual option is added.

Have you tested with the latest version of Podman and have you checked the Podman Troubleshooting Guide? (https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/master/troubleshooting.md)

Yes

Podman uses https://github.com/spf13/cobra to generate the shell completion scripts. Can you report the issue there? In the meantime you can create a shell completion script without the description information with podman completion bash --no-desc

[marckhouzam]

Should be fixed by spf13/cobra#1509

[Luap99]

Closing this issue because it will be fixed upstream and there is a workaround
