Rust Version

Clap Version
3.1.2
Minimal reproducible code
use clap::{AppSettings, Arg, Command, PossibleValue, Subcommand, ValueHint};
use clap_complete::{generate, Generator, Shell};
use std::{io, collections::{HashSet, HashMap}};
fn build_cli() -> Command<'static> {
Command::new(env!("CARGO_PKG_NAME"))
.subcommand_required(true)
.subcommand(
Command::new("foo")
.arg(
Arg::new("foo")
.long("foo")
.help("foos for real")
.possible_value(PossibleValue::new("7"))
.possible_value(PossibleValue::new("seven"))

fn print_completions<G: Generator>(gen: G, cmd: &mut Command) {

}
fn main() {

let matches = app.get_matches();
match matches.subcommand() {
Some(("comp", args)) => {
if let Ok(shell) = args.value_of_t::<Shell>("shell") {
let mut cmd = build_cli();
eprintln!("Generating completion file for {}...", shell);

}
eprintln!("nope");
}
Some(("foo", _args)) => {

}
Steps to reproduce the bug with the above code
source <(cargo run -- comp --shell zsh)
Actual Behaviour
errors out and the completion does not work with the binary afterwards
error:
# source <(cargo run -- comp --shell zsh)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.01s
Running `target/debug/clap-completion-zoink comp --shell zsh`
Generating completion file for zsh...
[src/main.rs:42] shell = Zsh
_arguments:comparguments:325: can only be called from completion function
Expected Behaviour
should source the completion and from thereon complete the execution
