ssh not completing from known_hosts

[jarshwah]

I've installed 2.1 from homebrew on osx, and for some reason the ssh completer for known hosts is not being run (or registered, I think). I was using an older version 1 that correctly completed via known hosts.

To confuse the matter, if I try to complete after sshfs <TAB>, that will successfully load from known_hosts. It seems that once known_hosts has been triggered, then regular ssh <TAB> will correctly list all known hosts.

The same behaviour occurs whether or not a hostname is partially written already, such as ssh dat<TAB> produces no output (unless another known_hosts completer has executed).

Bash version is 4.3.42:

$ bash -version

I know this isn't much to go by, so if I can provide anything extra please let me know and I'll do so happily.

Here's an example from a new terminal session:

smeatonj ~/Development
$ complete -p | grep ssh
github.com' ssh
complete -F _known_hosts ssh-installkeys

smeatonj ~/Development
$ ssh <TAB>
private.com.au github.com

smeatonj ~/Development
$ complete -p | grep ssh
github.com' ssh
complete -F _known_hosts ssh-installkeys

smeatonj ~/Development
$ sshfs <TAB>
Display all 387 possibilities? (y or n)

smeatonj ~/Development
$ complete -p | grep ssh
complete -F _ssh ssh
complete -o nospace -F _sshfs sshfs
complete -F _known_hosts ssh-installkeys
complete -F _ssh autossh
complete -F _ssh slogin

smeatonj ~/Development
$ ssh <TAB>
Display all 387 possibilities? (y or n)

sshfs completion needs ssh's completion and pulls it in on demand, that's why it starts to work after it. The complete -p output regarding ssh seems pretty broken to me. Please grab the whole section regarding ssh from the output (i.e. a few lines before what you already posted, or maybe the entire output somewhere), in this broken state. See also the troubleshooting instructions in README(.md) for info how to debug loading and execution of completions (set -x, etc).

Thanks for your help, this has been driving me nuts for ages. Using set -x immediately spewed a tonne of output to the terminal. While trying to minimise the junk by commenting out stuff in my .bash_profile I came across this line:

[ -e "$HOME/.ssh/config" ] && complete -o "default" -o "nospace" -W "$(grep "^Host" ~/.ssh/config | grep -v "[?*]" | cut -d " " -f2)" sc

After commenting that out everything began working correctly. Sorry for the noise, and thanks for putting me on the right track.
