+1, also getting this. Same version, same install method, same os.

Same issue here with Just 1.40.0 on Arch Linux. However, after copying the output (minus the error messages) into /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/just, it seems to work just fine.

As a test/workaround, does installing with cargo install --locked just get it working correctly?

For me this workaround fixes the issue

We see this in Fedora’s rust-just package. Based on the first failing test build, this is probably associated with updating clap_complete from 4.5.48 to 4.5.50.

I guess it makes sense that expecting particular implementation details in the clap_complete completion script would be brittle…

locked also works for me.

Fixed in #2800, sadly by pinning clap_complete to an out-of-date version 😅
