Reloading user units and non-interactive bash

Help
1

When I load a NixOS profile, I get warnings from bash

~ $ sudo nixos-rebuild test
building the system configuration...
activating the configuration...
setting up /etc...
reloading user units for jojo...
/home/jojo/.bashrc: line 9: complete: command not found
/home/jojo/.bashrc: line 10: shopt: histreedit: invalid shell option name
setting up tmpfiles

This comes from my (old, organically grown) .bashrc that has these lines

complete -r
shopt -s checkwinsize histreedit failglob globstar

Digging a bit deeper it seems that the “reloading user units” thing runs a different bash: My normal system runs

~ $ readlink $(which bash)
/nix/store/bap4d0lpcrhpwmpb8ayjcgkmvfj62lnq-bash-interactive-5.1-p16/bin/bash

but during the above job it runs /nix/store/dsd5gz46hdbdk2rfdimqddhq6m8m8fqs-bash-5.1-p16/bin/bash , judged from the name a non-interactive build of bash, and sure enough:

~ $ /nix/store/dsd5gz46hdbdk2rfdimqddhq6m8m8fqs-bash-5.1-p16/bin/bash 
complete: command not found
bash: shopt: histreedit: invalid shell option name

It seems that build has certain interactive features disabled and thus I get these errors.

Now I wonder:

  • Did I place these settings in the wrong file ~/.bash_rc? But the manpage for bash says

    When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists.

    so presumably it’s the right file.

  • Should that job somehow run the shell in non-interactive mode to avoid reading that file?

  • Or should I guard these command with some kind of check that tests if the current running bash is actually compiled with support for auto-completion and the histreedit option?

Can someone enlighten me?
