- What I did
Updated Cobra to 1.3.0 and started adopting Completion v2 mechanism with dynamic flag completion

Longer terms plan is to be able to fully generate completion for all commands, and replace the hand-written completion script

- How I did it
Enabled completion command and introduced registerCompletionFunc..

I would prefer this is all set by SetupRootCommand, but we need dockerCli to list available values, and passing this will change method signature. Or we need to set a global util.* variable like kubernetes does

Root Command gets a custom ValidArgsFunction set so that we can list available CLI plugins and include them in the completions. Note: they appear after canonical commands, unsorted:

$ docker c [tab] [tab]
checkpoint  commit      compose     config      container   context     cp          create 
...
 ~ docker compose - [tab] [tab]
--ansi               (Control when to print ANSI control characters ("never"|"always"|"auto"))
--compatibility      (Run compose in backward compatibility mode)
--env-file           (Specify an alternate environment file.)
...

Note: support by plugin require docker/cli dependency to be updated and Metadata to explicitly declare Completion support (SchemaVersion 0.2.0)

- How to verify it
generate completion script by docker completion bash > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/docker.sh and check completion within a new console

or directly invoke completion by:

$ docker __complete --context "de"
desktop-linux
default
:0
Completion ended with directive: ShellCompDirectiveDefault

demo: https://asciinema.org/a/cThdD50ILb3G5Ugx9q25XlTGo

- Description for the changelog
Introduce generation of shell completion command docker completion with dynamic completion

- A picture of a cute animal (not mandatory but encouraged)

Perhaps we should consider updating the SchemaVersion as well

// SchemaVersion describes the version of this struct. Mandatory, must be "0.1.0"

Do you think we can combine this PR with #3254 ? (feel free to take that branch of course, if there's useful bits in it)

I'm not sure about #3254. I understand we want to keep backward compatibility for users, but on the other hand using cobra completion v2 bring more flexibility and CLI plugins support, so should be preferred. If we support both, we will have to offer double maintenance...

return nil, cobra.ShellCompDirectiveError

return filterForCompletion(names, toComplete), cobra.ShellCompDirectiveDefault

If there are no context that match what the user has typed, do you want the shell to suggest file name?
If not, you should return cobra.ShellCompDirectiveNoFileComp. For example:

$ docker --context D[tab][tab]  # There is a context starting with 'D'
Development
$ docker --context Do[tab][tab] # There is NO context starting with 'Do' so we would get file completion
Documents/   Dockerfile    Dockerfile.new   Dockerfile.ori

)
}

func filterForCompletion(values []string, toComplete string) []string {

You may want to consider not filtering on toComplete but always returning all choices. Most implementations do the filtering, but with the latest version of Cobra, it is safe not to do it. The advantage is that it allows for fuzzy matching for some shells. In this case, fuzzy matching means that the shell can match what the user has typed not just as a prefix.

So let's say you have contexts test-dev, test-prod, test-local, and the user types prod, zsh and fish shells would be smart and match on test-prod. This improves the user experience. As for bash and powershell that don't support fuzzy matching, they will filter on prefix automatically.

If you want more details, you can have a look at how we did this for helm: helm/helm#10513

Looks like all the comments were fixed, maybe we should merge this one?

LOL completion is funny; wondering if there's an option to prevent this (each <TAB> adds a new paused-container to the list; it probably completes automatically because there's only one match;

docker unpause paused-container paused-container paused-container paused-container paused-container paused-container paused-container paused-container

For the list of "improvements"; we should exclude default (built-in) networks;

docker network rm <TAB>
bridge                  docker_gwbridge         docker_mynetwork  host                    none

Also need to prevent docker network create from completing to local files

docker network create
# prints file list

And some tweaking for attach (probably shouldn't have the paused-container

docker container attach
cranky_varahamihira  paused-container     running-container

docker build now completes to directories only (nice!)

docker build
.circleci/         .idea/             cli-plugins/       demo/              e2e/               man/               scripts/           vendor/
