[jira] [Updated] (CLI-251) Groups cannot be reused
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-251?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Greg Toombs updated CLI-251:
----------------------------
Description:
In WriteableCommandLineImpl.java, the code after this comment:
// ensure that all parent options are also added
ends up rejecting what should be valid command-line args. If you make a group and use it as a child in more than one parent, which is a wholly reasonable usage of the API, I think the child only registers one parent and then the "int present" counting goes over its maximum and the args are rejected. hasOption returns a false positive.
