ATTN: This project uses semantic versioning.
Unreleased
1.20.0 - 2017-08-10
Fixed
HandleExitCoderis now correctly iterates over all errors in aMultiError. The exit code is the exit code of the last error or1if there are noExitCoders in theMultiError.- Fixed YAML file loading on Windows (previously would fail validate the file path)
- Subcommand
Usage,Description,ArgsUsage,OnUsageErrorcorrectly propogated ErrWriteris now passed downwards through command structure to avoid the need to redefine it- Pass
Commandcontext intoOnUsageErrorrather than parent context so that all fields are avaiable - Errors occuring in
Beforefuncs are no longer double printed - Use
UsageTextin the help templates for commands and subcommands if defined; otherwise build the usage as before (was previously ignoring this field) IsSetandGlobalIsSetnow correctly return whether a flag is set if a program callsSetorGlobalSetdirectly after flag parsing (would previously only returntrueif the flag was set during parsing)
Changed
- No longer exit the program on command/subcommand error if the error raised is
not an
OsExiter. This exiting behavior was introduced in 1.19.0, but was determined to be a regression in functionality. See the PR for discussion.
Added
CommandsByNametype was added to make it easy to sortCommands by name, alphabeticallyaltsrcnow handles loading of string and int arrays from TOML- Support for definition of custom help templates for
AppviaCustomAppHelpTemplate - Support for arbitrary key/value fields on
Appto be used withCustomAppHelpTemplateviaExtraInfo HelpFlag,VersionFlag, andBashCompletionFlagchanged to explictly becli.Flags allowing for the use of custom flags satisfying thecli.Flaginterface to be used.
[1.19.1] - 2016-11-21
Fixed
- Fixes regression introduced in 1.19.0 where using an
ActionFuncas theActionfor a command would cause it to error rather than calling the function. Should not have a affected declarative cases usingfunc(c *cli.Context) err). - Shell completion now handles the case where the user specifies
--generate-bash-completionimmediately after a flag that takes an argument. Previously it call the application with--generate-bash-completionas the flag value.
[1.19.0] - 2016-11-19
Added
FlagsByNamewas added to make it easy to sort flags (e.g.sort.Sort(cli.FlagsByName(app.Flags)))- A
Descriptionfield was added toAppfor a more detailed description of the application (similar to the existingDescriptionfield onCommand) - Flag type code generation via
go generate - Write to stderr and exit 1 if action returns non-nil error
- Added support for TOML to the
altsrcloader SkipArgReorderwas added to allow users to skip the argument reordering. This is useful if you want to consider all "flags" after an argument as arguments rather than flags (the default behavior of the stdlibflaglibrary). This is backported functionality from the removal of the flag reordering in the unreleased version 2- For formatted errors (those implementing
ErrorFormatter), the errors will be formatted during output. Compatible withpkg/errors.
Changed
- Raise minimum tested/supported Go version to 1.2+
Fixed
- Consider empty environment variables as set (previously environment variables
with the equivalent of
""would be skipped rather than their value used). - Return an error if the value in a given environment variable cannot be parsed as the flag type. Previously these errors were silently swallowed.
- Print full error when an invalid flag is specified (which includes the invalid flag)
App.Writerdefaults tostdoutwhennil- If no action is specified on a command or app, the help is now printed instead of
panicing App.Metadatais initialized automatically now (previously wasnilunless initialized)- Correctly show help message if
-his provided to a subcommand context.(Global)IsSetnow respects environment variables. Previously it would returnfalseif a flag was specified in the environment rather than as an argument- Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user
altsrcs import paths were updated to usegopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1. This fixes issues that occurred whengopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1was imported as well asaltsrcwhere Go would complain that the types didn't match
[1.18.1] - 2016-08-28
Fixed
- Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user (backported)
1.18.0 - 2016-06-27
Added
./runteststest runner with coverage tracking by default- testing on OS X
- testing on Windows
UintFlag,Uint64Flag, andInt64Flagtypes and supporting code
Changed
- Use spaces for alignment in help/usage output instead of tabs, making the output alignment consistent regardless of tab width
Fixed
- Printing of command aliases in help text
- Printing of visible flags for both struct and struct pointer flags
- Display the
helpsubcommand when usingCommandCategories - No longer swallows
panics that occur within theActions themselves when detecting the signature of theActionfield
[1.17.1] - 2016-08-28
Fixed
- Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user
1.17.0 - 2016-05-09
Added
- Pluggable flag-level help text rendering via
cli.DefaultFlagStringFunc context.GlobalBoolTwas added as an analogue tocontext.GlobalBool- Support for hiding commands by setting
Hidden: true-- this will hide the commands in help output
Changed
Float64Flag,IntFlag, andDurationFlagdefault values are no longer quoted in help text output.- All flag types now include
(default: {value})strings following usage when a default value can be (reasonably) detected. IntSliceFlagandStringSliceFlagusage strings are now more consistent with non-slice flag types- Apps now exit with a code of 3 if an unknown subcommand is specified
(previously they printed "No help topic for...", but still exited 0. This
makes it easier to script around apps built using
clisince they can trust that a 0 exit code indicated a successful execution. - cleanups based on Go Report Card feedback
[1.16.1] - 2016-08-28
Fixed
- Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user
1.16.0 - 2016-05-02
Added
Hiddenfield on all flag struct types to omit from generated help text
Changed
BashCompletionFlag(--enable-bash-completion) is now omitted from generated help text via theHiddenfield
Fixed
- handling of error values in
HandleActionandHandleExitCoder
1.15.0 - 2016-04-30
Added
- This file!
- Support for placeholders in flag usage strings
App.Metadatamap for arbitrary data/state managementSetandGlobalSetmethods on*cli.Contextfor altering values after parsing.- Support for nested lookup of dot-delimited keys in structures loaded from YAML.
Changed
- The
App.ActionandCommand.Actionnow prefer a return signature offunc(*cli.Context) error, as defined bycli.ActionFunc. If a non-nilerroris returned, there may be two outcomes:- If the error fulfills
cli.ExitCoder, thenos.Exitwill be called automatically - Else the error is bubbled up and returned from
App.Run
- If the error fulfills
- Specifying an
Actionwith the legacy return signature offunc(*cli.Context)will produce a deprecation message to stderr - Specifying an
Actionthat is not afunctype will produce a non-zero exit fromApp.Run - Specifying an
Actionfunc that has an invalid (input) signature will produce a non-zero exit fromApp.Run
Deprecated
-
cli.App.RunAndExitOnError, which should now be done by returning an error that fulfillscli.ExitCodertocli.App.Run. - the legacy signature for
cli.App.Actionoffunc(*cli.Context), which should now have a return signature offunc(*cli.Context) error, as defined bycli.ActionFunc.
Fixed
- Added missing
*cli.Context.GlobalFloat64method
