rabbah opened a new issue #2381: custom parameter parsing in CLI ignores command separators
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/issues/2381
 
 
   The parameter parsing that's going on in `commands.go` can lead to surprising results. It ignores `-` and `--` as command separators. For example:
   
   ```
   > wsk action create echo tests/dat/actions/echo.js
   ok: created action echo
   
   > wsk action invoke echo -p -b -r
   ok: invoked /_/echo with id 9172aa2c35c34e0eacd031b641e850ee
   ```
   
   `-b` and `-r` are both CLI parameters for blocking invoke with results projection. They are interpreted however as parameters for the action:
   
   ```
   > wsk activation result 9172aa2c35c34e0eacd031b641e850ee
   {
       "-b": "-r"
   }
   ```
   
   This affects both parameters and annotations.
   ```
   > wsk action update echo -p -p -a -a -a -p
   ok: updated action echo
   
   > wsk action get echo annotations
   ok: got action echo, displaying field annotations
   [
       {
           "key": "-a",
           "value": "-p"
       },
       {
           "key": "exec",
           "value": "nodejs:6"
       }
   ]
   
   > wsk action get echo parameters
   ok: got action echo, displaying field parameters
   [
       {
           "key": "-p",
           "value": "-a"
       }
   ]
   ```
   
   This is related to #2380.
