lxc remote switch should suggest completion of any locally configured remote

[simondeziel]

It seems that only builtin remote are proposed during tab-completion:

$ lxc remote switch <tab>
images                local                 ubuntu                ubuntu-daily          ubuntu-minimal        ubuntu-minimal-daily 

But I have many more remotes. Icing on the cake would be to remove the current one from the list of suggestion.

TIL that set-default is an alias for switch and not the other way around 😆

I'm seeing all of my remotes (including non-default remotes) appear when tab completing lxc remote switch on my end. For this completion, we load remotes from g.conf.Remotes, which should include all remotes. Do you have a reproducer I can try in order to continue investigating further?

@kadinsayani if you've built snaps before, you should have craft-com.ubuntu.cloud-buildd and craft-com.ubuntu.cloud-buildd-daily remotes. Can you tab complete those when on latest/edge cause I cannot.

It looks like this issue is only prevalent with the LXD snap - upon regenerating the completion script and sourcing it locally, all remotes appear as expected.

A fresh install of the LXD snap yields the following results:

root@c1:~# lxd.lxc __complete remote switch cd
ubuntu
ubuntu-daily
ubuntu-minimal
ubuntu-minimal-daily
images
cdimage
local
:4
Completion ended with directive: ShellCompDirectiveNoFileComp
root@c1:~# lxd.lxc remote switch [TAB]
images                ubuntu                ubuntu-minimal
local                 ubuntu-daily          ubuntu-minimal-daily

The completion directive returns all of the available remotes, but it appears that snapd is intercepting the response and excluding non-default remotes (cdimage in this case).
