Unfortunately, we can't track using a `ValueParser` inside of `Command`
because its `PartialEq`. We'll have to wait until a breaking change to
relax that.
Compatibility:
- We now assert on using the wrong method to look up defaults. This
shouldn't be a breaking change as it'll assert when getting a real
value.
- `values_of`, et al delay panicing on the wrong lookup until the
iterator is being processed.
With us moving the required de-duplication up a level, it made this
check redundant. By removing this check, we're more likely to have an
item in the `incls` which forces a smart usage and reduces the chance of
an `[ARGS]` or `[OPTIONS]`, so a couple of tests changed.
Gave up trying to decipher the existing logic for safe ways to
de-duplicate manually and switched to an `IndexSet` to enforce only one
of each argument exists.
Fixes#3556
This is a step towards #3309. We want to make longs and long aliases
more consistent in how they handle leading dashes. There is more
flexibility offered in not stripping and it matches the v3 short
behavior of only taking the non-dash form. This starts the process by
disallowing it completely so people will catch problems with it and
remove their existing leading dashes. In a subsequent breaking release
we can remove the debug assert and allow triple-leading dashes.
`Arg::exclusive` is just another way of defining conflicts, so a
present-exclusive arg should override required like other conflicts.
Instead of going through the message of enumerating all other arguments
as exclusive, I shortcutted it and special case exclusive in the
required check like we do with conflicts. The big downside is the
implicit coupling between the code paths rather than having a consistent
abstraction for covering conflicts.
This isn't a breaking change because if someone defined an exclusive arg
as a sibling to a required arg, the exclusive arg could never be used,
it always errored, and so no valid application can be written with it.
Fixes#3595
This is a step towards #992. When help renders the application name, it
uses the `bin` template variable which is just the `bin` name with
spaces converted to ` `. While having `app.exe sub` makes sense,
`app.exe-sub` does not.
To get around needing this for usage, we've created a `display_name`
field that is fairly similar but
- The root name is the `name` and not `bin_name`
- We always join with `-`
This means that the derived `bin_name` will only show up in usage.
For now, the default template has not been updated as that is a minor
compatibility change and should be in a minor release, at least. I was
worried this would be a full breaking change. The main case I was
worried about was cargo subcommands but our tests show they should just
work.
By removing all arguments, we've switched from an "unrecognized
argument" error to a "unrecognized subcommand" error. While the wording
has room for improvement, its at least progress on #2862.
Before, if two arguments were required *and* overrode each other, then
`cmd --opt=1 --other=2` succeded but `cmd --other=2` failed despite
ignoring `--opt=1`. Requiring `--opt=1` to be present but unavailable
doesn't help anyone and makes the behavior less predictable.
Now both commands will have the same behavior.
`Command::_build_all` started as an internal function for
`clap_complete` as a stopgap until #2911. Overtime, we've been finding
more cases where this function needs to be called, so now we're going to
fully embrace it until #2911 so people aren't scrared off by the hidden
implementation from using it.
This was inspired by #3602
Comptibility: Though this adds a deprecation which we general reserve
for minor or major versions, this is enough of a corner case that I'm
fine doing this in a patch release.
`-h` (short help) still shows the same.
This gates it behind an `unstable-v4` feature flag to avoid disrupting users who set the help without knowing where all it shows up (particularly derive users where `ArgEnum` is automatically extracting the help).
Fixes#3312
Instead of just renaming it, I reconsidered what the API should look
like. A custom separator for author does not make sense positionally
but accepting a name, and defaulting it, does fit with what someone
would expect.
I removed the `_from_crate` suffix because it doesn't seem necessary.
We don't have this kind of naming for the derive. I feel it cleans
things up this way.
This is part of the `App` rename.
Previously, I was concerned about not being able to deprecate
For backwards compatibility, we still expose the `IntoApp` name.
