`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
Change default help template:
- The new template introduce new lines before and after
author/about sections.
- Add help template placeholders:
- about-section
- author-section
- Documentation of new placeholders in clap::App::help_template
- Update all unit tests by incorporating new lines
- 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]()
Due to macro expansions, a `syn` type may be wrapped in multiple
'layers' of `syn::Type::Group`. However, `clap_derive` currently does
not check for `syn::Type::Group`, which will cause an `Option` (along
with other matched types) to fail to be detected when it results from a
macro expansion.
This commit 'unwraps' outer type groups before checking the
user-provided types against well-known types. Currently, these groups
may not be present due to a rustc bug (rust-lang/rust#43081)
However, once https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73084 is merged,
these groups will be present in more cases. This commit makes `clap`
compatible with both older and newer versions of rustc.
This PR switches the Arg::Short macro to take a character instead of a string. It removes the hacky code in the Method to_token method and implements the logic for Short when parsing the clap derive arguments.
Fixes#1815.
