------------------------

             Summary: MissingArgumentException when DefaultParser processes an option value which starts with hyphen/dash.
                 Key: CLI-309
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-309
             Project: Commons CLI
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Parser
    Affects Versions: 1.4
            Reporter: ilia


 

When processing option value which starts with hyphen/dash like *--sec-attr -password1* , exception [1] occurs. If the current token start with dash, it will be processed as an option and therefore this will not be set as a value to the previous option, which will cause [1]. The only way to set such value is to use equals sign like *--sec-attr=-password1*. In this case the whole token is processed as option=value pair and the correct value will be set.
