Bash completion file missing from Docker Desktop for Mac

[sflanker]

• I have tried with the latest version of Docker Desktop
• I have tried disabling enabled experimental features
• I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID:

Expected behavior

It should be possible/easy to enable bash completion for the docker command that is installed as part of Docker Desktop.

Actual behavior

The Docker app for Mac used to have a bash completion file. As of v4.9.0 this file is no longer preset (although the docker-compose still exists).

Missing file: /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/etc/docker.bash-completion

This breaks widely circulated instructions like https://gist.github.com/rkuzsma/4f8c1354a9ea67fb3ca915b50e131d1c

Information

• Is it reproducible? Yes, as far as I can tell. The problem was introduced after a performed a fresh reinstall of Docker Desktop.
• Is the problem new? Yes. this file used to exist, now it is gone. I'm not sure one version removed the file because I missed some updates.
• macOS Version: 12.3.1
• Intel chip or Apple chip: Intel
• Docker Desktop Version: 4.9.0

Confirmed the file is there in v4.8.2

Definitely reproducible on a second Mac after a clean update from 4.8.2 -> 4.9.0

Same here, confirmed, file missing after 4.9.0 update

I think it's been moved to /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/etc/docker. I changed my symlink to this location and autocomplete works again.
