[jira] Commented: (CLI-12) [cli] Not handling property=value followed by 'remaining' args

["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-12?page=comments#action_12419981 ] 

Henri Yandell commented on CLI-12:
----------------------------------

Probably not for a few months at the best - the CLI-2 API was designed as an overhaul of the CLI-1 API but failed to get released before the developers went inactive. Hopefully we're on the way to getting it restarted now. You can grab a nightly build from the following URL

> If you have a command line args similar to
> domything -Dmyprop1=myval1 -Dmyprop2=myval2 myfile
> I would expect to be able to set up the 'D' option so that 
>  String[] opts = line.getOptionValues( "D" );
>  assertEquals( "myprop1", opts[0] );
>  assertEquals( "myval1", opts[1] );
>  assertEquals( "myprop2", opts[2] );
>  assertEquals( "myval2", opts[3] );
>  String[] xtraArgs = line.getArgs();
>  assertEquals( "myfile", xtraArgs[0]);
> But, setting up similar to the ApplicationTest.java I get 'myfile' as opts
> [4].  Since we have set up the 'D' option with hasArgs, it will only stop 
> adding args to 'D' when it runs into another valid option, not an extra arg.  
> If you set up the 'D' option with hasArg (singular) then it myprop1=myval1 
> gets reported as an invalid option.
> I've glanced at the source but didn't see an obvious fix that wouldn't 
> jeopardize the combinations and permutations that Option.addValue() must deal 
> with.
