PR #1423 changed the location where flag completion functions are stored. It always stores them under the root cmd. This breaks Podman because we setup each cobra cmd struct individually with their flags before we join them to the root command.
So when we call cmd.RegisterFlagCompletionFunc() the root cmd will not be the actual root cmd. When the __complete command tries to look up flag completions it will not find anything in the real root cmd and thus no completion is provided.

Every program who calls cmd.RegisterFlagCompletionFunc() before joining the cmd to the root command will no longer have functional flag completion.

Luap99 added a commit to Luap99/cobra that referenced this issue Jul 2, 2021
The flag completion functions should be stored on their cmd struct and
not the root cmd. Using the root cmd does not work when you create the
cmd and add flags before you join this cmd struct to your parent command.

The flag completion functions should not be stored in the root cmd.
There is no requirement that the root cmd should be the same when
`RegisterFlagCompletionFunc` was called. Storing the flags there does
not work when you add the the flags to your cmd struct before you add the
cmd to the parent/root cmd. The flags can no longer be found in the rigth
place when the completion command is called and thus the flag completion
does not work.

Also spf13#1423 claims that this would be thread safe but we still have a map
which will fail when accessed concurrently. To truly fix this issue use a
RWMutex.

Shoot, I didn't think about such a scenario, although it is pretty common. Sorry about that.

[Compare
Source](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/compare/v1.6.0...v1.6.1)

##### Bug fixes 🐛

- Fixes a panic when `AddGroup` isn't called before
`AddCommand(my-sub-command)` is executed. This can happen within more
complex cobra file structures that have many different `init`s to be
executed. Now, the check for groups has been moved to `ExecuteC` and
provides more flexibility when working with grouped commands -

##### Summer 2022 Release

Some exciting changes make their way to Cobra! Command completions
continue to get better and better (including adding `--help` and
`--version` automatic flags to the completions list). Grouping is now
possible in your help output as well! And you can now use the
`OnFinalize` method to cleanup things when all "work" is done. Checkout
the full changelog below:

#### Spring 2022 Release 🌥️

Hello everyone! Welcome to another release of cobra. Completions
continue to get better and better. This release adds a few really cool
new features. We also continue to patch versions of our dependencies as
they become available via dependabot. Happy coding!

#### Active help 👐🏼

Shout out to [@&#8203;marckhouzam](https://togithub.com/marckhouzam) for
a big value add: Active Help
[spf13/cobra#1482.
With active help, a program can provide some inline warnings or hints
for users as they hit tab. Now, your CLIs can be even more intuitive to
use!

Currently active help is only supported for bash V2 and zsh. Marc wrote
a whole guide on how to do this, so make sure to give it a good read to
learn how you can add this to your cobra code!
https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/active_help.md

#### Group flags 🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏼

Cobra now has the ability to mark flags as required or exclusive as a
***group***. Shout out to our newest maintainer
[@&#8203;johnSchnake](https://togithub.com/johnSchnake) for this!
[spf13/cobra#1654
Let's say you have a `username` flag that ***MUST*** be partnered with a
`password` flag. Well, now, you can enforce those as being required
together:

```go
rootCmd.Flags().StringVarP(&u, "username", "u", "", "Username (required if password is set)")
rootCmd.Flags().StringVarP(&pw, "password", "p", "", "Password (required if username is set)")
rootCmd.MarkFlagsRequiredTogether("username", "password")
```

Flags may also be marked as "mutally exclusive" with the
`MarkFlagsMutuallyExclusive(string, string ... )` command API. Refer to
our [user guide
documentation](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/user_guide.md)
for further info!

### Winter 2022 Release ❄️

Another season, another release!

#### Goodbye viper! 🐍 🚀

The core Cobra library no longer requires Viper and all of its indirect
dependencies. This means that Cobra's dependency tree has been
drastically thinned! The Viper dependency was included because of the
`cobra` CLI generation tool. [This tool has migrated to
`spf13/cobra-cli`](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra-cli/releases/tag/v1.3.0).

It's *pretty unlikely* you were importing and using **the bootstrapping
CLI tool** as part of your application (after all, it's just a tool to
get going with core `cobra`).

But if you were, replace occurrences of

    "github.com/spf13/cobra/cobra"

with

    "github.com/spf13/cobra-cli"

And in your `go.mod`, you'll want to also include this dependency:

    github.com/spf13/cobra-cli v1.3.0

Again, the maintainers *do not anticipate* this being a breaking change
to users of the core `cobra` library, so minimal work should be required
for users to integrate with this new release. Moreover, this means the
dependency tree for your application using Cobra should no longer
require dependencies that were inherited from Viper. Huzzah! 🥳

### v1.3.0 - The Fall 2021 release 🍁

#### Completion fixes & enhancements 💇🏼

In `v1.2.0`, we introduced a new model for completions. Thanks to
everyone for trying it, giving feedback, and providing numerous fixes!
Continue to work with the new model as the old one (as noted in code
comments) will be deprecated in a coming release.

- `DisableFlagParsing` now triggers custom completions for flag names
[#&#8203;1161](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1161)
- Fixed unbound variables in bash completions causing edge case errors
[#&#8203;1321](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1321)
- `help` completion formatting improvements & fixes
[#&#8203;1444](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1444)
- All completions now follow the `help` example: short desc are now
capitalized and removes extra spacing from long description
[#&#8203;1455](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1455)
- Typo fixes in bash & zsh completions
[#&#8203;1459](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1459)
- Fixed mixed tab/spaces indentation in completion scripts. Now just 4
spaces [#&#8203;1473](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1473)
- Support for different bash completion options. Bash completions v2
supports descriptions and requires descriptions to be removed for
`menu-complete`, `menu-complete-backward` and `insert-completions`.
These descriptions are now purposefully removed in support of this
model. [#&#8203;1509](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1509)
- Fix for invalid shell completions when using `~/.cobra.yaml`. Log
message `Using config file: ~/.cobra.yaml` now printed to stderr
[#&#8203;1510](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1510)
- Removes unnecessary trailing spaces from completion command
descriptions
[#&#8203;1520](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1520)
- Option to hide default `completion` command
[#&#8203;1541](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1541)
- Remove `__complete` command for programs without subcommands
[#&#8203;1563](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1563)

#### Generator changes ⚙️

Thanks to [@&#8203;spf13](https://togithub.com/spf13) for providing a
number of changes to the Cobra generator tool, streamlining it for new
users!

- The Cobra generator now *won't* automatically include Viper and cleans
up a number of unused imports when not using Viper.
-   The Cobra generator's default license is now `none`
-   The Cobra generator now works with Go modules
-   Documentation to reflect these changes

#### New Features ⭐

- License can be specified by their SPDX identifiers
[#&#8203;1159](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1159)
- `MatchAll` allows combining several PositionalArgs to work in concert.
This now allows for enabling composing `PositionalArgs`
[#&#8203;896](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/896)

#### Bug Fixes 🐛

- Fixed multiple error message from cobra `init` boilerplates
[#&#8203;1463](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1463)
[#&#8203;1552](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1552)
[#&#8203;1557](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1557)

#### Testing 👀

- Now testing golang 1.16.x and 1.17.x in CI
[#&#8203;1425](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1425)
- Fix for running diff test to ignore CR for windows
[#&#8203;949](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/949)
- Added helper functions and reduced code reproduction in `args_test`
[#&#8203;1426](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1426)
- Now using official `golangci-lint` github action
[#&#8203;1477](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1477)

#### Security 🔏

- Added GitHub dependabot
[#&#8203;1427](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1427)
-   Now using Viper `v1.10.0`
- There is a known CVE in an *indirect* dependency from `viper`:
[spf13/cobra#1538.
This will be patched in a future release

#### Documentation 📝

- Multiple projects added to the `projects_using_cobra.md` file:
[#&#8203;1377](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1377)
[#&#8203;1501](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1501)
[#&#8203;1454](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1454)
- Removed ToC from main readme file as it is now automagically displayed

##### Bug fixes

- Quickfix for
[spf13/cobra#1437

`cmd.RegisterFlagCompletionFunc()` (and subsequent map) now works
correctly and flag completions now work again

### [`v1.2.0`](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/releases/tag/v1.2.0): -
The completions release

[Compare
Source](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/compare/v1.1.3...v1.2.0)

### 🌠 v1.2.0 - The completions release

Welcome to v1.2.0 of Cobra! This release focuses on code completions,
several critical bug fixes, some documentation updates, and security
bumps. Upgrading should be simple but please take note of the
introduction of bash completions V2 and their default use. The v1
completions library is still available, but will be *deprecated* in the
future. Please open an issue with any problems!

***

#### New Features

- Automatically adds a `completion` command for shell completions. If a
`completion` command is already provided, uses that instead. This will
*automatically* provide shell completions for bash, zsh, fish, and
PowerShell
[spf13/cobra#1192
    -   Users can configure the command auto creation:
        -   disable the creation of the completion command
        -   disable completion descriptions
- disable the `--no-descriptions` flag for "always on" completion
descriptions
- Introduction of bash completions V2, a uniform completion approach
which include completion descriptions. The V1 bash completions are still
available *but will be deprecated* in a later release -
[spf13/cobra#1146
- Note that projects providing completion through a different command
name (say a command named "complete") will continue to use v1 for their
own command but will also provide cobra's implicit "completion" command
which will use v2, unless of course, these projects take the time to
disable the default "completion" command as noted above.
- Commands now support context being passed to completions -
[spf13/cobra#1265
- An example can be found here:
[spf13/cobra#1265 (comment)
- Removed dependency on`mitchellh/go-homedir` in favor of core Go
`os.UserHomeDir()` -
spf13/cobra@8eaca5f

#### Bug Fixes

- Fix trailing whitespace not being handled in powershell completion
scripts
[spf13/cobra#1342
- Bash completion variable leak fix
[spf13/cobra#1352
- Fish shell completions correctly ignore trailing empty lines
[spf13/cobra#1284
- PowerShell completions fix for "no file comp directive" -
[spf13/cobra#1363
- Custom completions now correctly handle multiple shorthand flags
together -
[spf13/cobra#1258
- zsh completions now correctly handle `ShellDirectiveCompletionNoSpace`
and file completion all the time -
[spf13/cobra#1213
- Multiple fixes / improvements to the fish shell support -
[spf13/cobra#1249
- Fix home directory config not loading correctly -
[spf13/cobra#1282
- Fix for `RegisterFlagCompletionFunc` as a global var not working in
multi-threaded programs:
[spf13/cobra#1423
- Custom completions correctly do not complete flags after args when
interspersed is false
[#&#8203;1308](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1308)

#### Testing

- Deprecated Travis CI. Now fully using Github Actions -
spf13/cobra@d0f318d
- Added test cases and enhancements (thank you to everyone for taking
the time to add tests to your PRs!)
- Shoutout to [@&#8203;marckhouzam](https://togithub.com/marckhouzam)
and [@&#8203;Luap99](https://togithub.com/Luap99) for their hard work on
a cobra command completions testing library. [Check out the repo
here!](https://togithub.com/marckhouzam/cobra-completion-testing)

#### Security

- Bump viper to 1.8.1. This corrects several issues with vulnerabilities
existing in the dependency tree -
[spf13/cobra#1433

#### Other

- Add PR labeler with pull_request_target to enable tests to run from
forks -
[spf13/cobra#1338
- CI using MSYS2 windows machines pull latest -
[spf13/cobra#1366
- Multiple small fixes to spelling / documentation -
[spf13/cobra#1349
