and silver searcher installed with completions
(both the above installed via homebrew)
ag SEARCHQUERY app<TAB>
get:
$ ag SEARCHQUERY app-bash: _split_longopt: command not found
This is quite related to #1067 wherein it is discussed whether ag's completion script should be depending on a 3rd party completion library at all.
Regardless, the expedient fix is to replace the _split_longopt invocation with _comp__split_longopt. However, I have also opened https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/issues/1135 against bash-completion itself to resolve their opinion on if this function should be considered part of their public api. Depending on if they alias the function for a short time, or release a patch to 2.12.0, the remediation in ag's completion may change.
