Brian Egge updated CLI-122:
---------------------------
Attachment: CLI122.patch
In CLI 1.x you don't have variable arguments and default values. I.e., an
argument which takes 2-4 values, so CLI 1.x can safely say something is or
isn't an option based on it's context, and not based on if it starts with a
dash.
In CLI 2.x, you do have variable args, and the parser uses a
'looksLikeAnOption' function to determine if the argument is the next one in a
list, or is the start of the next option.
However, there is still a need to be able to parse arguments which starts with
a dash. The attached patch allows these to forms to work:
--argument "-foo"
--argument=-foo
However, this form will still not:
--argument -foo
> Create test for this for 2.0
