"Using config file" displays when doing completion command

[christianh814]

Running

cobra-cli completion bash

Displays

Using config file: ~/.cobra.yaml

This isn't causing an issue, but it's a bit of a cosmetic annoyance, especially since I have source <(cobra-cli completion bash). This text displays every time I open a new terminal tab.

Is there a way to suppress it?

Since this line is printed to stderr, the simplest thing to do is to redirect stderr:
source <(cobra-cli completion bash) 2> /dev/null.

The overall better approach is to avoid sourcing the completion script at every start of the shell. Instead you can store the completion script once in the shell's completion directory. You can run cobra-cli completion bash -h and follow the instructions.

This doesn't work

$ source <(cobra-cli completion bash) 2> /dev/null

My preference isn't to load these into a file but instead, load it dynamically. Reason for this is that I don't have to update the completion every time the CLI changes.

Sorry, my mistake. You should use source <(cobra-cli completion bash 2> /dev/null)

Valid point. For CLIs that are installed with a package manager, this should all be taken care of automatically. But if not, then I understand.
