Issue #12322 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs Decision Assignee set to Randall Hansen
This is so: because `cert` is a legacy command, we display the unhelpful message: <pre> ⚡ puppet help cert generate err: Legacy subcommands don't take actions err: Try 'puppet help help help' for usage </pre> I suspect that we should, instead, at least display the `cert` manual page again. Not as useful, but less nasty than the current behaviour. Randall, opinion? ---------------------------------------- Bug #12322: CLI help documentation only supports one command level https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12322 Author: Eric Connell Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Randall Hansen Category: documentation Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1 Keywords: documention options parameters Branch: When requesting help via the cli commands, puppet does not support getting information about subcommands. For example: <pre>puppet help cert</pre> returns help for the cert command, but there is no method for getting a list of options of subcommands of cert. I would expect: <pre>puppet help cert generate</pre> to give me a list of options that can be passed to the generate subcommand. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
