The -r option only works some of the time about hiera-eyaml HOT 6 CLOSED

And, probably related:

Error: option '-k' specified multiple times.

Using exclusivley the long options seems to work fine.

This is to do with the way that we specify and merge together the command line options map. When the CLI is started it has a standard set of options and then pulls in other options from the encryption modules (such as PKCS7 and GPG). This is clearly non-deterministic. Even if it were deterministic it would change when different sets of encryption modules were installed.

The easiest solution to this is to eliminate all short options for non-core options (we can do this by setting the short option to :none when building the trollop options). Another solution would be to hard code the short options in the encryption modules, although then you'd have to co-ordinate between the different encryption modules. I'd prefer the former (I've already removed some short options in pull request #28).

I agree that short => :none is the best choice, then.

I think that this will have been solved with the merge of #56 (when a new gem is cut anyway). What's the behaviour of this now @gtmtech - is this ready to be closed?

from hiera-eyaml.

The v2.0 code now defaults to short => :none, and only adds it explicitly back in if its been specified. In addition the ordering of options is much more specific - and is an array which is iterated over directly within the Trollop block. This should prevent future occurrences of this problem.

I am marking this as now fixed-closed
