@braderhart does it make any difference if you use cmk from the powershell terminal?

It's a bit unfortunate that cloudmonkey doesn't use one of the standard Go flag packages (such as https://github.com/spf13/cobra ). This would make it much easier to add bash completion support.

On the other hand, it shouldn't be too difficult to use something like https://github.com/posener/complete directly.

@onitake cobra is not a standard Go flag package, besides it's a heavily bloated dependency. cmk already uses the standard flag package: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-cloudmonkey/blob/master/cmk.go#L21

cmk provides an autocompletion for not just parameters but also parameter values when used in the shell mode. I'm not sure other stated dependencies provide value completion (by querying via a server-side request) as well. Pull requests are welcome!

@rhtyd I totally agree with you on that one. However, by using cobra, bash autocompletion would be easier to add.
The standard flag package is very primitive and cannot autogenerate bash autocompletion strings like many Go tools do.

The semi-dynamic nature of cmk will certainly make it a bit more difficult to implement this - but there are many tools that do send server requests when autocompleting. scp and kubectl come to mind.

posener/complete is compatible with the standard flags package, so integrating it into cmk will be easy. What will be a bit more complicated is adding the dynamic commands. The documentation is here: https://godoc.org/github.com/posener/complete
