Describe the bug
complete or complete -p commands print nothing when they are in a file that is sourced with source-sh bash <file> or with module sh-to-mod bash <file>.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
$ complete -p bash
complete -F _longopt bash
$ module show test/complete
-------------------------------------------------------------------
/path/to/modulefiles/test/complete:
setenv COMPLETE_OUTPUT {}
-------------------------------------------------------------------
$ module load test/complete
$ env | grep COMPLETE_OUTPUT
COMPLETE_OUTPUT=
__MODULES_LMSOURCESH=test/complete&bash ~/complete.sh|setenv COMPLETE_OUTPUT {}Location and content of any modulerc or modulefile involved:
$ cat /path/to/modulefiles/test/complete
#%Module
source-sh bash ~/complete.sh
$ cat ~/complete.sh
#!/bin/bash
export COMPLETE_OUTPUT=$(complete -p bash)
Expected behavior
After module load test/complete, the variable COMPLETE_OUTPUT must be set to complete -F _longopt bash.
Error and debugging information
$ module --debug load test/complete

[...]Modules version and configuration
$ module --version
Modules Release 5.6.0 (2025-07-31)
$ module config --dump-state
Additional context
It looks like the new instance of bash reset the whole environment. I can reproduce this outside of module with :
$ bash -c 'complete -p bash'
bash: line 0: complete: bash: no completion specification
I can get it to work with :
$ bash -i -c 'complete -p bash'
complete -F _longopt bash
However I only have the default environment initialized with bash. I loose any additional complete commands :
$ complete foo
$ complete -p foo
complete foo
$ bash -i -c 'complete -p foo'
bash: complete: foo: no completion specification
