Column p.proisagg does not exist

Description

So after getting a fresh installation of a PostgreSQL server and login into with pgcli I get the following error:

➜ pgcli -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -W postgres -d postgres
Password: 
Exception in thread completion_refresh:
Traceback (most recent call last):

LINE 6:                 p.proisagg is_aggregate,
                        ^
HINT:  Perhaps you meant to reference the column "p.prolang".

Nonetheless this error I can keep using pgcli.

@Abhinickz Try updating: pip install -U pgcli. Your version is 1.9.1 and the fix was added in 2.0.2.

Confirming that this works. I am using Ubuntu 18.04 via WSL2, and when I sudo apt install pgcli the version is 1.6. Using sudo apt install python3-pip and pip3 install pgcli the installed version is now 3.1.0.

EDIT: My postgresql version is 11.
