anvil / bash-argsparse Goto Github PK

Hi,

The master branch has a patch that started using [[ -v ]], which is a bash 4.2 feature:
0b2bbf6

https://github.com/bminor/bash/blob/master/CHANGES#L3642

README states that GNU bash version >= 4.1 is required.

Do you have plans to bump the min. required bash version to 4.2? Or alternatively, can I open a pull request that replaces -v with something that is 4.1-compatible?

Hello,

If two options are mutually exclusive (exclude property) and the first one has a default value, the second one is "unavailable", since default always set a value.

Example :
argsparse_use_option option1 "desc option1" value default:toto exclude:option2
argsparse_use_option option2 "desc option2" exclude:option1

It's totaly minor but the link to your doxygen documentation is broken, there's only a 1.6.1 version on http://argsparse.livna.org

Hi,
the acceptable values feature does not work for me.
I am using GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu).
The __argsparse_is_array_declared check never returns true.
Replacing the line with a simple is-set check [[ ! -z ${!array_name+x} ]] (stackoverflow) however, works for me.
I could create an PR, if you want :)

Thanks

I have something like this:

. /argsparse.sh

argsparse_use_option =project: "Path of the project to publish. If empty PWD is assumed"

Notice that --project is NOT mandatory. And yet, when I run the script without commands it will print the help and exit.

How do I tell argsparse that it's OK if no option was passed?

Hello,

First thanks for this great arguments parsing tool.

I'm trying to use it inside function directly as I need to control function usage.
Some exit statement as in usage() function end all
I tried to use a return 1 statement but I have some error because parsing seems to continue and do not stop anymore after using -h argument.

I have errors as :

-bash: --source-path: option is mandatory.
-bash: --destination-path: option is mandatory.

Is there any way to use your bash-argsparse inside functions ?

Thanks in advance for your advices.

Kind regards

Hi,

Currently require only support 'AND'

argsparse_use_option option1 "desc option1"
argsparse_use_option option2 "desc option2"
argsparse_use_option option2 "desc option3" require:"option1 option2"

=> option3 requires option1 AND option2

It would be nice to have
=> option3 requires option1 OR option2
Or even
=> option3 requiques (option1 AND option2) OR requires (option4 AND option5)
