Change Summary
For op mode completion purposes, we only need to care about nodes in the active config, so none of the complexities of config sessions apply. In the current implementation that uses a directory tree for the config tree, that's equivalent to
ls
.The task is made easier by the fact that op mode template interpreter doesn't care about exit codes, so even if
ls
exits with a non-zero code on non-existent dirs, that has no negative effects, we can just supress its error output withls 2>/dev/null
. And node names cannot contain whitespace, so we can always use them in UNIX path strings without escaping.Types of changes

How to test
Every command that uses a node path in completion, like
run show interfaces
, should work as before.Smoketest result
