This was fixed a long time ago. Closing.

Closed #12400.

Not working on Google Cloud Debian VM with bash-completion 2.1-4.3.

After have done all things on https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/ on my iMac, I still got error: type _init_completion not found.
And finally I found that, although I have update my bash, and I did got this message:

$which bash
/usr/local/bin/bash
$bash --version

BUT, my terminal was still using old bash in fact:

$env

Need to change my default shell by typing command

chsh -l /usr/local/bin/bash

and it work.

chsh -l /usr/local/bin/bash

and it work.

Did you mean sudo chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash instead?
Thanks anyway for the hint!

it's 2023, if you're still getting this error on macos try another package called bash-completion@2

brew unlink bash-completion
brew install bash-completion@2
exit

@avoidik Thank you for this! I was using a new Bash version, but was still using the older (default) bash-completion from Homebrew. Installing the newer bash-completion version for my newer Bash version fixed it for me.

Simple as brew unlink bash-completion && brew install bash-completion@2 for me!

Thanks again!
