When an anonymous struct is inside of an enum, we end up applying the
App methods twice, once for the `augment_args` and once for variant.
This consolidates those calls.
Fixes#2898
Due to a copy/paste bug, we were reading the `help_heading` for
Subcommands from the enum's attribute and not the variant's attribute.
It doesn't make sense for the outer command's help_heading to control
the subcommands help_heading.
This does raise an interesting question on inheriting / propagating help_heading,
which I originally wrote the tests for. We'd first need to answer
whether it should be built-in to the builder or derive-specific.
In working on converting unwraps to errors, I noticed that we did not
spport `arg_enum` for `Option<Option<_>>` and `Option<Vec<_>>`, so this
addresses that.
My main motivation was to consolidate and make the logic more
consistent, the bug fix just fell out of that work.
PR #2751 highlighted a problem we have where the variable names we use
could collide with users. Rather than parse out when or not to use
special names, and worry about people keeping that up to date through
refactors, I globally renamed all variables by adding a `__clap_`
prefix, which looks like what serde does to solve this problem.
I audited the result with `cargo expand`. I didn't add any tests
because any tests would be reactionary and would give us a false sense
of protection since any new code could hit this with anything we do.
Our best route for naming is consistency so people are likely to notice
and copy.
Fixes#2934
In considering potential work for #2683, I realized we might need a type to carry data for
each of the `multiple_values`. `ArgValue` works both for that and for
possible values, so we need to come up with a better name for one or
both. Changing `ArgValue`s name now would be ideal since its new in
clap3 and by renaming it, we can reduce churn for users.
While thinking about this, I realized I regularly get these mixed
up, so renaming `ArgValue` to `PossibleValue` I think will help clear
things up, regardless of #2683.
Before, when `flatten`ing, the struct you flattened in could set the
help heading for all the following arguments. Now, we scope each
`flatten` to not do that.
I had originally intended to bake this into the initial / final methods
but that would have required some re-work to allow capturing state
between them that seemed unnecessary.
Fixes#2803
Our goal is to not panic inside of the macro (e.g. #2255). Currently,
we `.unwrap()` everywhere except when turning an `ArgMatches` into an
`enum`. To handle `flatten`, we walk through each `flatten`ed enum to
see if it can be instantiated. We don't want to mix this up with any of
the other eror cases (including further nested versions of this).
If we went straight to `Result<T>`, we'd have to differentiate this case
through the `ErrorKind` and `map_err` it in all other cases to prevent
it from bubbling up and confusing us.
Alternatively, we could do a more complicated type `Result<Option<T>>`
where the `Option` exists purely for this case and we can use type
checking to make sure we properly turn the `None`s into errors when
needed.
Or we can bypass all of this and just ask the `flatten`ed` subcommand if
it supports the current command.
We normally set all app attributes at the end. This can be changed but
will require some work to ensure
- Top-level item's doc cmment ins our over flattened
- We still support `Args` / `Subcommand` be used to initialize an `App` when
creating a subcommand
In the mean time, this special cases `help_heading` to happen first.
We'll need this special casing anyways to address #2803 since we'll need
to capture the old help heading before addings args and then restore it
after. I guess we could unconditionally do that but its extra work /
boilerplate for when people have to dig into their what the derives do.
Fixes#2785
When working on #2803, I noticed a disprecancy in the augment
behavior between `Arg`s and `Subcommand`s that makes it so `Arg`s can't
be flattened with the update functionality.
Before #2005, `Clap` was a special trait that derived all clap traits it
detected were relevant (including an enum getting both `ArgEnum`,
`Clap`, and `Subcommand`). Now, we have elevated `Clap`, `Args`,
`Subcommand`, and `ArgEnum` to be user facing but the name `Clap` isn't
very descriptive.
This also helps further clarify the relationships so a crate providing
an item to be `#[clap(flatten)]` or `#[clap(subcommand)]` is more likely
to choose the needed trait to derive.
Also, my proposed fix fo #2785 includes making `App` attributes almost
exclusively for `Clap`. Clarifying the names/roles will help
communicate this.

This carries over a test case from
https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/pull/448, and re-fixes it according
to the changes we've made since we forked. I also tried to identify
other cases and quote them to avoid playing whack-a-mole with this.
This is a part of #2809
Some programs do not use anything to separate word boundaries.
For example a struct may contain the field `build_dir` while the flag is
`--builddir`.
This is a port of https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/pull/412
This is part of #2809
https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/pull/325 special cased `version`
because a default method would be added if the user did nothing, which
caused problems when nesting subcommands. We no longer apply that
default method and the highest item in the chain always has precedence,
so this can be simplified / clarified.
This will unblock us from removing the `version` hack because we'll
always get the right precedence.
Later we can explore ways of moving the app methods to being done first.
The big problem is with `#[clap(subcommand)]` because we need to call
those app methods on the subcommands `App` *and* override them with app
methods on the variant, requiring the app methods to be last to get
precedence.
Before there was no way to make `SubcommandsNegateReqs` with
`clap_derive` because it required a required field with a sentinel value
for when the required part was negated. We blocked that.
This turned out simpler than I expected.
This came out of the discussion for #2255 but that issue is more
specifically about the panic, so not closing it.
* feat(arg_value): ArgValue can be used for possible_values
Through the ArgValue it is possible:
* `hide` possible_values from showing in completion, help and validation
* add `about` to possible_values in completion
* Resolved a few change-requests by epage
* make clippy happy
* add ArgValue::get_visible_value
* remove verbose destructering
* rename ArgValue::get_hidden to ArgValue::is_hidden
* add test for help output of hidden ArgValues
* Documentation for ArgValue
There is an issue that required to implement From<&ArgValue> for
ArgValue. We should probably find a solution without that.
* fix requested changes by epage
* fix formatting
* add deref in possible_values call to remove From<&&str>
* make clippy happy
* use copied() instad of map(|v|*v)
* Finishing up for merge, hopefully
* changes requested by pksunkara
Before, validating UTF-8 was all-or-nothing and would cause a `panic` if
someone used the right API with non-UTF-8 input.
Now, all arguments are validated for UTF-8, unless opted-out. This
ensures a non-panicing path forward at the cost of people using the
builder API that previously did `value_of_os` need to now set this flag.
Fixes#751
I did some digging to root cause this but gave up and suppressed it,
like others. Warnings like this also come with a cost of code-gen
complexity.
Fixes#2712
Instead they should behave like `default_value`/`default_values`.
In implementingt this, I didn't see any reason to be using a `VecMap`.
In fact, this helped simplify the code / make intent clearer.
With this, we are also able to simplify the derive macro work from #2633.
Fixes#2634
BREAKING CHANGE: `value_name`/`value_names` always overwrite, rather
than append. We expect the impact to be minimal.
Right now
- `default_value="something"` is a raw method
- `default_value` uses native types
This commit splits the meanings
- `default_value="something"` is a raw method
- `default_value_t` uses `T::default()`
- `default_value_t=expr` uses an expression that evaluates to `T`
This is meant to mirror the `value_of` / `value_of_t` API.
At the moment, this is limited to `T: Display` to work with clap's
default system. Something we can look at in the future is a way to
loosen that restriction. One quick win is to specialize when `arg_enum`
is set. The main downside is complicating the processing of attributes
because it then means we need some processed before others.
Since this builds on `clap`s existing default system, this also means
users do not get any performance gains out of using `default_value_t`,
since we still need to parse it but we also need to convert it to a
string.
Fixes#1694
It looks like CI hasn't been running on this and we've introduced some
problems. It looks like we had an off-by-one error in the check for
MSRV for deciding to run ui tests.
It turns out `value_name` appends, so by setting an implicit and
explicit `value_name`, the user gets both and `num_vals=2`.
There is still a question on `value_name` and whether its documentation
or behavior needs updating. If that changes, then this can be
simplified by reverting back.
Fixes#2632
When using `#[clap(flatten)]` inside of a `Subcommand`, we would do a
`from` instead of an `update`.
The challenge is knowing when we are
going into a flattened subcommand vs changing the variant. To resolve
this, I added a `Subcommand:has_subcommand(name)` trait method that we
generate, so we can ask.
I debated putting this fix inside of the Builder API but I figure this
makes it so you "pay for what you use", with the derive API giving it to
you "for free".
A potential next step is to improve the default value name. I tend to
use value_name to hint at how to use an argument, which correlates with
types. We could add a
`ValueName::value_name(fallback: &str) -> &str` with impls for common
types, so we get more of a usage-based result.
Fixes#2608
One of the challenges with #2255 is for the user to discover whats going
wrong. This helps by at least telling people how they got into a bad
state and we can search for the code within the derive.
Before, when doing an `update` involving subcommands, we generated
parsing rules for the `from` case instead, requiring all arguments to be
present.
This switches us to descending into `update` code and adds tests to
verify it works.
This is a part of #2605
When debugging #2586, I noticed we were developing match cases for
variant names that were flattened. At minimum, this is dead code and at
worst this could cause the wrong behavior if a user does an update with
one of those names.
Depends on #2587Fixes#2588
`structopt` originally allowed
```
pub enum Opt {
Daemon(DaemonCommand),
}
pub enum DaemonCommand {
Start,
Stop,
}
```
This was partially broken in #1681 where `$ cmd daemon start` works but `cmd daemon`,
panics. Originally, `structopt` relied on exposing the implementation
details of a derived type by providing a `is_subcommand` option, so we'd
know whether to provide `SubcommandRequiredElseHelp` or not. This was
removed in #1681Fixes#2005
Before, partial command lines would panic at runtime. Now it'll be a
compile error
For example:
```
pub enum Opt {
Daemon(DaemonCommand),
}
pub enum DaemonCommand {
Start,
Stop,
}
```
Gives:
```
error[E0277]: the trait bound `DaemonCommand: clap::Args` is not satisfied
--> clap_derive/tests/subcommands.rs:297:16
|
297 | Daemon(DaemonCommand),
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `clap::Args` is not implemented for `DaemonCommand`
|
= note: required by `augment_args`
```
To nest this, you currently need `enum -> struct -> enum`. A later
change will make it so you can use the `subcommand` attribute within
enums to cover this case.
This is a part of #2005
While having convinience derives can be helpful, deriving traits that
are not used in similar situations (`Clap` and `ArgEnum`) can make
things harder
- From a user, derives are opaque and create uncertainty on how to use
the API if not kept crystal clear (deriving a name gives you the trait
by that name)
- This makes documentation harder to write and read
- You can use types in unintended places, which is made worse for crate
APIs because changing this breaks compatibility.
Fixes#2584
- help / version flag report correct application name when generated
with clap_derive and an Enum.
- add clap_derive unit tests for application name:
file: clap_derive/tests/app_name.rs
tests: app_name_in_[short|long]_[help|version]_from_[struct|enum]()
In the `Clap` derive macro, a function parameter named `arg_matches` is
generated using `quote!` - as a result, this parameter ends up with
call-site hygiene. However, `arg_matches` is written literally within
several `quote_spanned!` blocks, which generate an `arg_matches` token
with the hygiene of whatever span was passed to `quote_spanned!`.
If these two hygienes are different (for example, if the user invokes
the derive macro from a `macro_rules!` macro), then a usage of
`arg_matches` may not resolve to the `arg_matches` parameter definition.
This commit changes the generation of `arg_matches` identifiers to
always use `quote!`, ensuring that they will always be considered the
'same' identifier by Rust.
