Machine Type: i486-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 37
Release Status: release
Description:
If one has a file "data.txt" and a shell script "x", it used to
be possible to run this with "sh x dat<tab>" and have the file argument
completed to "data.txt". As of Debian Wheezy update completion
only recognizes subdirectories as possible arguments.
Repeat-By:
Create an executable shell script "x".
Put some text in a readable file "data.txt".
Try to invoke script "x" as "sh x dat<tab>" and notice
that completion does not work for data.txt.
Fix:
Interestingly, "./x dat<tab>" *does* work. So this has to do
with how bash looks at file arguments to explicitly invoked
scripts passed to "sh" as the command.
