> HelpFormatter missing <arg> for first option
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CLI-233
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-233
> Project: Commons CLI
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CLI-1.x
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Reporter: Brian Pontarelli
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.3
>
>
> I'm not sure if this is fixed in the master branch, but it looks like the
> HelpFormatter doesn't correctly output a <arg> when the first option has an
> argument. Sample:
> {code:title=Main.java|borderStyle=solid}
> Options options = new Options();
>
> options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("user").withDescription("Database
> username").isRequired().hasArg().create("u"));
>
> options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("pass").withDescription("Database
> password").isRequired().hasArg().create("p"));
> CommandLineParser parser = new PosixParser();
> CommandLine commandLine;
> try {
> commandLine = parser.parse(options, args);
> } catch (ParseException e) {
> HelpFormatter helpFormatter = new HelpFormatter();
> helpFormatter.printHelp(120, "Usage: Main <options>", e.getMessage(),
> options, "");
> System.exit(1);
> }
> {code}
> The output is:
> {noformat}
> usage: Usage: Main <options>
> Missing required option: u, p
> -p,--pass <arg> Database password
> -u,--user Database username
> {noformat}
