request: enable tab-completion after caffeinate

[Aaron Wolf]

since caffeinate works as a command that then takes all existing other bash commands, it's frustrating not to be able to use tab-completion.

Incidentally, for reference, this other C-based little tool that basically replicates caffeinate's functions but just for systemd just added tab-completion functionality, so this same approach should work for caffeinate:

I updated to the new version 2.9.2 but the bash completion isn't actually working for me. I did check the version and tried starting a new terminal…

Thanks for this, and apologies: I didn't understand the constraints on dynamic loading of completions.

I have committed a fix, and will release a new version as soon as I've checked a potential minor error in the script with bash-completion upstream.

By the way, assuming you rely on the default activation of bash-completion, via /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh, you'll need to make sure you start a new login shell (e.g. "bash -ls") to test it.

A workaround, while you're waiting for the update, is to

sudo mv /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/caffeine /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/caffeinate

Confirmed the fix, it works, thanks!
