Don't generate Autocomplete for hide commands

[power721]

I want to hide some commands.
It's hide from help message, but it does not hide from generated Autocomplete.

Thank you for raising this!
That makes sense.

Will you be able to provide a pull request for this?

@power721, what version of picocli are you using?
Looking at the code for AutoComplete, hidden commands should already be skipped... (This was fixed in #887 and released in picocli 4.1.2.)

Can you show me an example that reproduces this issue with the current version of picocli?

I use 4.3.2.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>info.picocli</groupId>
            <artifactId>picocli</artifactId>
            <version>4.3.2</version>
        </dependency>

I hide the item get command:

    @Command(name = "get", hidden = true, description = "Get item from the Lockbox")
    public void get(@Parameters(description = "The key", paramLabel = "KEY") String key) {
        System.out.println(lockbox.get(key));
    }

Example output:

linux:~ # ./lockbox item
contains  create    get       remove    set       update
linux:~ # ./lockbox item
Missing required subcommand
Usage: lockbox item [COMMAND]
Manage lockbox items
Commands:
  contains  Check item exist in the Lockbox
  create    Create item in the Lockbox
  remove    Remove item from the Lockbox
  set       Set item in the Lockbox
  update    Update item in the Lockbox

Fixed in master.
This will be included in the upcoming picocli 4.4 release.

Thank you again for raising this!
