[jira] Updated: (CLI-6) [cli] Unknown options are ignored instead of throwing UnrecognizedOptionException

["Oliver Heger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-6?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Oliver Heger updated CLI-6:
---------------------------

    Attachment: cli-6.patch

The problem does not exist in CLI2. The ParserTest class contains a test for verifying that an unknown option throws an exception. In the attached patch I added an additional test case for an unknown short option - just to be on the save side.

So this issue does not affect CLI2.

> CLI does not handle unknown options, i.e. throw an 'UnrecognizedOptionException'.
> The reason is that the logic of PosixParser.processOptionToken() is incomplete:
>         if (this.options.hasOption(token))
>         {
>             currentOption = this.options.getOption(token);
>             tokens.add(token);
>         }
>         else if (stopAtNonOption)
>         {
>             eatTheRest = true;
>         }
> ie. if the stopAtNonOption is not set and the token is unknown, it
> will be ignored. there has to be a default case added:
>           else {
>             tokens.add(token);
>         }
> in which case the caller will throw the proper exception, because
> in Parse there is another check whether the option exists.
> i would've submitted a patch but did not find where to, sorry.
