PowerShell completions generate bogus completion flags for all commands

[pingzing]

Problem The generated completions for PowerShell incorrectly contain the following completions for the following flags for every option:

• -h
• h
• --help
• help
• -V
• V
• version
• --version

...even for commands that do not accept those flags. The result is that if I type

> rustup help

...and then press Tab, I get -h as a suggested autocompletion, which is invalid.

Steps

1. rustup completions powershell
2. See output. I'll attach the full contents of the generated completions in a follow-up comment.

Possible Solution(s) At a guess (I couldn't find where in the repo the completions are actually created), it seems like these four completions get added to every possible command, instead of only those that actually accept it:

[CompletionResult]::new('-h', 'h', [CompletionResultType]::ParameterName, 'Prints help information')
[CompletionResult]::new('--help', 'help', [CompletionResultType]::ParameterName, 'Prints help information')
[CompletionResult]::new('-V', 'V', [CompletionResultType]::ParameterName, 'Prints version information')
[CompletionResult]::new('--version', 'version', [CompletionResultType]::ParameterName, 'Prints version information')

Notes

Output of rustup --version: rustup 1.18.3 (435397f48 2019-05-22) Output of rustup show:

The completions are generated by clap, so I'm not sure why it would be wrong unless it's a bug in clap.

Could you please try writing a simple clap app and see if the completions come out properly; and if not, file a bug on clap and link it to this so that we can track it?

You can put the completions in a separate file then can use dot sourcing to import it in to the $profile file. E.g. add the following to the $profile file:

. path\to\rust-completions.ps1

Use the real path instead of path\to\rust-completions.ps1.
