`clap_generate` originally intended to be "generate anything". With
`fig`, we already broke one part out. With #3174's man support, we are
also looking at keeping it separate:
- More freedom to iterate on the API
- Uniqueness (and potential weight) of its dependencies
- man generation is normally more for distribution while completions are
a mix of being distributed with the app or the app generating the
completions (which will be exacerbated if we move most completion
parsing logic to be in Rust)
So `clap_generate` is having a lot more limited of a role than the
original name conveys. I worry the generic name will be a hindrance to
people discovering and using it (yes, documentation can help but there
are limits).
I hesitated because we are on the verge of releasing 3.0. However, doing
it even later will be even more disruptive because more people will be
using it (crates.io lists ~70 people using `clap_generate`).
To ease things, we are still releasing `clap_generate` as a wrapper
around `clap_complete`.
We have two ways of fixing this
- Making `--help` work
- Don't put `--help` in the help output
For now, I went with the latter. I tried to make it clear what the
actual requirement is so we can pivot if needed.
Fixes#2892
This happens to also fix the interaction of `DisableHelpFlag` with the
help subcommand and complcations. I've added a test to help catch if we
break this by changing how we fixed the original issue.
Fixes#2724
These issues were reported against clap3. I've not tried to reproduce
these in clap2 to see if they should show up in the release notes.
This reverts commits 24cb8b1..d0abb37 from clap-rs/clap#1840
This is part of #16. clap-rs/clap#1840 wasn't the right call but we
don't have time to make the decision now, so instead of having one
option and changing it in 4.0, this reverts back to clap2 behavior.
`App::get_matches` lazily post-processes `App`s and `Arg`s so we don't
do it to subcommands that are never run (downside being people have to
exercise their full app to get debug_asserts).
`clap_generate` was only post-processing the top-level `App` and `Arg`s,
ignoring the sub-commands. In #2858, we noticed that `--version` was
being left in the completions instead of being removed during the
`_build` step. We would also have an incorrect `num_vals` and a host of
other problems.
This change adds a `App::_build_all` function for `clap_generate` to use
to eagerly build everything. By having it there, we make sure
everywhere that needs eager building, gets it (like some tests).
In `clap_generate::utils`, we add a unit test to ensure the subcommand's
`--version` was removed.
For some other tests specifying `.version()`, I added
`AppSettings::PropagateVersion` to make it behave more consistently.
The places I didn't were generally where the version was conditionally
set.
For `clap_generate/tests/generate_completions.rs`, I had to adjust the
`conflicts_with` because the subcommand was inheriting the argument with
it defined *but* the subcommand did not have the argument, tripping up a
debug assert.
Fixes#2860
