• I have read the troubleshooting section and still think this is a bug.

Describe the bug you encountered:

Using bash completion on older distros like Amazon Linux 2(EOL: 2025-06-30) causes an error message when logging in:
./fd.bash: line 170: complete: nosort: invalid option name

I removed -o nosort but unsure how it would affect the indented functionality of the shell completion.

Describe what you expected to happen:

No response

What version of fd are you using?

fd 8.7.1

Which operating system / distribution are you on?

Unix: Linux 5.15.133-86.144.amzn2.x86_64 x86_64

Same will happen on Centos 7.

Removing that should be fine. It just means the completion results will be sorted.

nosort is from bash 4.4 which is from 2016-09-15. Since it's still popular (and hey, macOS is still on bash 3), I think this is worth reporting upstream: https://github.com/clap-rs/clap/issues

macOS user here, and this is indeed occurring for me too. :)

this has been reported in clap-rs/clap#5190, but not fixed yet

[henry-hsieh]

I made a PR to fix this. The issue should be resolved after next release of clap-rs.
See clap-rs/clap#5278

I think the clap-rs v4.4.13 released today is including the change.
