The flags usage template from pflags has a trailing \n. We need to
include a newline in case there are no flags in our template. This will
trim the newline from the end of the flags from pflag and we can do it
right outselves.
This slightly changes IsAvailableCommand in that a non-runnable command
with a runnable subcommand is now 'Available'
We also use IsAvailableCommand in the rest of the codebase instead of
half kinda sorta doing it incorrectly other places.
Added the ability to have hidden commands that cobra will still run as intended, however they won't show up in any usage/help text
adding internal field to command
private is a better name
hiding private commands in default help/usage
opting for 'hidden' over 'private'
updating all 'help command' checks to exclude hidden commands
updating how commands are displayed in usage/help text by updating/adding some methods. added tests for hidden/deprecated commands
making command hidden when testing hidden command execution
test now leverage the included suite and are much less custom. also removed deprecation tests, once I discovered them in cobra_test.go
updating hidden command test to be more reliable
removing unnecessary () when checking len(c.Deprecated)
updating command comments to be godoc friendly
We previously had this weak argument called projectName which let you
set a single part of a man page header. Instead do the best we can if
the caller doesn't pass us anything, but let the caller specify anything
they want.
We were just calling Help() when a user set the --help flag. You could
overwrite how the help subcommand worked with SetHelpFunc, but not now
the --help flag worked.
Today the HelpFunc() seemed to be tailor built for the `help`
subcommand. Which has a rather weird purpose as its `Run` needs to
find the actual command we want to get help about.
Instead make the HelpFunc() for a command be about that command,
rather than having it search for some other command...
This patch enables developers to add one to many template functions that
can be used by custom Usage and Help templates. Here is an example that
is included in the file cobra_test.go as the test function named
TestAddTemplateFunctions:
AddTemplateFunc("t", func() bool { return true })
AddTemplateFuncs(template.FuncMap{
"f": func() bool { return false },
"h": func() string { return "Hello," },
"w": func() string { return "world." }})
const usage = "Hello, world."
c := &Command{}
c.SetUsageTemplate(`{{if t}}{{h}}{{end}}{{if f}}{{h}}{{end}} {{w}}`)
if us := c.UsageString(); us != usage {
t.Errorf("c.UsageString() != \"%s\", is \"%s\"", usage, us)
}
In the above example four functions are added to the template function
map used when the Usage and Help text is generated from the templates
that enable custom logic as well as data injection during template
execution.
```go
package main
import (
"github.com/spf13/cobra"
"github.com/spf13/pflag"
)
func main() {
cmd := &cobra.Command{
Use: "min",
Short: "minimal command",
Run: func(_ *cobra.Command, _ []string) {},
}
pflag.String("oncmdline", "oncmdline", "oncmdline")
cmd.Execute()
}
```
Is a minimal cobra program. When --help is displayed without this patch
you only get:
But with the patch --oncmdline is shows under flags.
This first `cd` to a specified directory, then
lists the subdirectories therein with `_filedir -d`.
This can be used by e.g. `hugo --theme=[Tab][Tab]`, which would
give a list of subdirectories under the `themes` directory.
The template had gotten out of control. It was basically unparsable.
This does a little more work in functions and a little less in the
template. Overall it should be basically the same. It might output the
'additional help topics' in a couple of fewer places, but I doubt people
complain too much...
