This reverts commit 6898fbde33.
PR #2144 added the `license` field but no consumer has been added since
the (like Issue #1768). Since this is not ready yet, I am pulling it
from the 3.0 release.
So far, our main route for pulling a feature from the release has
been to put it behind a `unstable-*` feature flag and to create a
stablization tracking issue. I chose to instead remove the feature
because a write-only field with no effect does not provide values for
people to use in as an early access and so doesn't outweight the cost of
the extra documentation noise and code noise it creates. Additionally,
keeping an `unstable-` feature around when it has such an unknown path
(and time table) to stalbization feels like it violates YAGNI. I'm
uncertain how much of this feature we can implement and not create a
legal trap for users because the crate's license is insufficient for the
final artifact's license. I feel our stabliazation process sshould be
about iteration and collecting user feedback which this doesn't line up
with.
When someone is ready to tackle #1768, it will be easy to revert this
commit and pick up the work again.
Fixes#3001
In #2851, we moved color from an AppSetting to function (with some
tweaks in #2907). When doing this, we documented `App::color` to be
equivalent of `App::global_settings(Color...)` but never actually
propagated it.
We are now propagating it. A test is added to ensure that no matter
how we store the color choice, we continue to propagate it. This
required exposing `App::get_color`.
In experimenting on #1772, I want to write test cases for various
combinations of required or not, values vs occurrences, etc. There
wasn't really a clear place to put these.
On top of that, I wanted there to be a clear place in the tests for
describing the behavior of special types, to make it easier to audit and
easier to see how a PR for #1772 changes things.
As part of this effort in organizing these tests, I reduced the number
of tests that use special types. This better focuses these tests on the
cases they are intending to cover, rather than pulling in unrelated
features. This makes it easier to audit special types and makes it so
failures give more focused results, making it easier to see what broke.
In #2985, I noticed #2834 was incomplete, there were case-insensitive
comparisons we were doing without being unicode aware (when compile
options are set).
The downside is that each comparison will require a UTF-8 validation.
These seem to be in more of corners of the API, rather than in common
calls in common usages, so hopefully that isn't too much of a problem.
Similar to #2977, this changes positional argument `<subcmd>` in
`help <subcmd>` to be multiple occurrences, from being multiple values.
This is what identified the usage generation bug fixed in #2978 and was
isolated into the test case `positional_multiple_occurrences_is_dotted`.
This is part of #2692 where we re-evaluate the usage of multiple values
for positionals now that we accept multiple occurrences.
PR #2979 reduced what dependencies we push on users and made us one step
closer to being able to test more with fewer features. Looks like I
also need to update `clap_derive`. I verified locally that #2976 fails
with this.
`clap_derive` still needs `env` because of examples / tests that use it.
I feel like moving `clap_derive`s tests out to `clap` would be the way
to fix this.
The tests are using `to_string` which maps to `Display::fmt` and the
`Colorizer` version is colorless. To get color, it is only supported
with `print()` which has to go to stdout / stderr and can't be directed
to an arbitrary stream.
Though we store a lot of values as `&'help str`, we return them as
`&'self str`, making it so they can not be used programmatically as part
of a `App::mut_arg` call.
This loosens the lifetimes so they can be used with `App::mut_arg`.
This also includes a test simulating the desired workflow described in #2966
I skipped `get_all_aliases`. I ran into problems with lifetimes with
`all_subcommand_names` and didn't quickly resolve it. Rather than hold
this up, I punted on it for now.
We'll have to tighten these back up with #1041 but that will also enable
turning them into owned strings, so this will still be possible after
that issue is resolved, just the calls will be slightly different.
Like with #2903, we are depending on more features than needed, forcing
them onto users. This also impacts our testing since we aren't truly
getting minimal test runs (see #2976).
