Bash completions as root hangs the shell

My composer.json:

I don't have composer.json because I don't have a project.

When I run this command:

composer upd[TAB][TAB]

Here I can't see the autocompletion for root user and the shell terminal is blocked. I can't cancel with CTRL+C. I must close the terminal window.

I get the following output:

root@php:~# composer upd[TAB][TAB]

And I expected this to happen:

I expected to see autocompleted commands for root user.

I debugged the issue and I found the completion command is:

php /usr/local/bin/composer _complete -sbash -c1 -S2.4.1 -icomposer

and when I execute this command as root, composer ask confirmation because I'm root:

root@php:~# php /usr/local/bin/composer _complete -sbash -c1 -S2.4.1 -icomposer
Do not run Composer as root/super user! See https://getcomposer.org/root for details
Continue as root/super user [yes]? 

Possible solutions

Maybe we never autocomplete for root, but it must not block the shell.

Or maybe we always autocomplete for root and we never ask confirmation, like this :

php /usr/local/bin/composer _complete -sbash -c1 -S2.4.1 -icomposer --no-interaction --no-plugins

Can you please try to apply symfony/symfony#47394 to your completion file to check it fixes it for you?

I tested with the root user and it works without hangs the shell.
Thanks

Should this be closed because it was already solved in symfony ? or do you prefer to wait until it actually is released in composer ?

[Seldaek]

Looked again at fixing symfony/symfony#47394 (comment) and then I took the opportunity to also fix this issue at the same time, even for those without the updated -n completion. So 2.4.2 should work.
