Change Log

ATTN: This project uses semantic versioning.

2.0.0 - (unreleased 2.x series)

Added

  • NewStringSlice and NewIntSlice for creating their related types
  • Float64SliceFlag for unmarshaling a list of floats from the user
  • Context.Lineage to get all contexts from current up to global
  • Context.LocalFlagNames to get the flag names from only the current context
  • BoolFlag.Value to handle both default-false and default-true

Changed

  • Context.FlagNames now returns all flags in the context lineage
  • Context.IsSet now considers the full context lineage
  • Added IsSet method to the Flag interface which allows us to detect whether or not a flag has been set

Removed

  • the ability to specify &StringSlice{...string} or &IntSlice{...int}. To migrate to the new API, you may choose to run the migrator (python) script.
  • The optimistic reordering of arguments and flags introduced by https://github.com/urfave/cli/pull/36. This behavior only worked when all arguments appeared before all flags, but caused weird issues with boolean flags and reordering of the arguments when the user attempted to mix flags and arguments. Given the trade-offs we removed support for this reordering.
  • adapter code for deprecated Action func signature
  • deprecated App.Author, App.Email, and Command.ShortName fields
  • All Context.Global* methods, as the non-global versions now traverse up the context lineage automatically.
  • Context.Parent method, as this is now available via Context.Lineage
  • BoolTFlag and related code, as this is now available via BoolFlag.Value

1.20.0 - 2017-08-10

Fixed

  • HandleExitCoder is now correctly iterates over all errors in a MultiError. The exit code is the exit code of the last error or 1 if there are no ExitCoders in the MultiError.
  • Fixed YAML file loading on Windows (previously would fail validate the file path)
  • Subcommand Usage, Description, ArgsUsage, OnUsageError correctly propogated
  • ErrWriter is now passed downwards through command structure to avoid the need to redefine it
  • Pass Command context into OnUsageError rather than parent context so that all fields are avaiable
  • Errors occuring in Before funcs are no longer double printed
  • Use UsageText in the help templates for commands and subcommands if defined; otherwise build the usage as before (was previously ignoring this field)
  • IsSet and GlobalIsSet now correctly return whether a flag is set if a program calls Set or GlobalSet directly after flag parsing (would previously only return true if the flag was set during parsing)

Changed

  • No longer exit the program on command/subcommand error if the error raised is not an OsExiter. This exiting behavior was introduced in 1.19.0, but was determined to be a regression in functionality. See the PR for discussion.

Added

  • CommandsByName type was added to make it easy to sort Commands by name, alphabetically
  • altsrc now handles loading of string and int arrays from TOML
  • Support for definition of custom help templates for App via CustomAppHelpTemplate
  • Support for arbitrary key/value fields on App to be used with CustomAppHelpTemplate via ExtraInfo
  • HelpFlag, VersionFlag, and BashCompletionFlag changed to explictly be cli.Flags allowing for the use of custom flags satisfying the cli.Flag interface to be used.

1.19.1 - 2016-11-21

Fixed

  • Fixes regression introduced in 1.19.0 where using an ActionFunc as the Action for a command would cause it to error rather than calling the function. Should not have a affected declarative cases using func(c *cli.Context) err).
  • Shell completion now handles the case where the user specifies --generate-bash-completion immediately after a flag that takes an argument. Previously it call the application with --generate-bash-completion as the flag value.

1.19.0 - 2016-11-19

Added

  • FlagsByName was added to make it easy to sort flags (e.g. sort.Sort(cli.FlagsByName(app.Flags)))
  • A Description field was added to App for a more detailed description of the application (similar to the existing Description field on Command)
  • Flag type code generation via go generate
  • Write to stderr and exit 1 if action returns non-nil error
  • Added support for TOML to the altsrc loader
  • SkipArgReorder was added to allow users to skip the argument reordering. This is useful if you want to consider all "flags" after an argument as arguments rather than flags (the default behavior of the stdlib flag library). This is backported functionality from the removal of the flag reordering in the unreleased version 2
  • For formatted errors (those implementing ErrorFormatter), the errors will be formatted during output. Compatible with pkg/errors.

Changed

  • Raise minimum tested/supported Go version to 1.2+

Fixed

  • Consider empty environment variables as set (previously environment variables with the equivalent of "" would be skipped rather than their value used).
  • Return an error if the value in a given environment variable cannot be parsed as the flag type. Previously these errors were silently swallowed.
  • Print full error when an invalid flag is specified (which includes the invalid flag)
  • App.Writer defaults to stdout when nil
  • If no action is specified on a command or app, the help is now printed instead of panicing
  • App.Metadata is initialized automatically now (previously was nil unless initialized)
  • Correctly show help message if -h is provided to a subcommand
  • context.(Global)IsSet now respects environment variables. Previously it would return false if a flag was specified in the environment rather than as an argument
  • Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user
  • altsrcs import paths were updated to use gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1. This fixes issues that occurred when gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1 was imported as well as altsrc where Go would complain that the types didn't match

[1.18.1] - 2016-08-28

Fixed

  • Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user (backported)

1.18.0 - 2016-06-27

Added

  • ./runtests test runner with coverage tracking by default
  • testing on OS X
  • testing on Windows
  • UintFlag, Uint64Flag, and Int64Flag types and supporting code

Changed

  • Use spaces for alignment in help/usage output instead of tabs, making the output alignment consistent regardless of tab width

Fixed

  • Printing of command aliases in help text
  • Printing of visible flags for both struct and struct pointer flags
  • Display the help subcommand when using CommandCategories
  • No longer swallows panics that occur within the Actions themselves when detecting the signature of the Action field

[1.17.1] - 2016-08-28

Fixed

  • Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user

1.17.0 - 2016-05-09

Added

  • Pluggable flag-level help text rendering via cli.DefaultFlagStringFunc
  • context.GlobalBoolT was added as an analogue to context.GlobalBool
  • Support for hiding commands by setting Hidden: true -- this will hide the commands in help output

Changed

  • Float64Flag, IntFlag, and DurationFlag default values are no longer quoted in help text output.
  • All flag types now include (default: {value}) strings following usage when a default value can be (reasonably) detected.
  • IntSliceFlag and StringSliceFlag usage strings are now more consistent with non-slice flag types
  • Apps now exit with a code of 3 if an unknown subcommand is specified (previously they printed "No help topic for...", but still exited 0. This makes it easier to script around apps built using cli since they can trust that a 0 exit code indicated a successful execution.
  • cleanups based on Go Report Card feedback

[1.16.1] - 2016-08-28

Fixed

  • Removed deprecation warnings to STDERR to avoid them leaking to the end-user

1.16.0 - 2016-05-02

Added

  • Hidden field on all flag struct types to omit from generated help text

Changed

  • BashCompletionFlag (--enable-bash-completion) is now omitted from generated help text via the Hidden field

Fixed

  • handling of error values in HandleAction and HandleExitCoder

1.15.0 - 2016-04-30

Added

  • This file!
  • Support for placeholders in flag usage strings
  • App.Metadata map for arbitrary data/state management
  • Set and GlobalSet methods on *cli.Context for altering values after parsing.
  • Support for nested lookup of dot-delimited keys in structures loaded from YAML.

Changed

  • The App.Action and Command.Action now prefer a return signature of func(*cli.Context) error, as defined by cli.ActionFunc. If a non-nil error is returned, there may be two outcomes:
    • If the error fulfills cli.ExitCoder, then os.Exit will be called automatically
    • Else the error is bubbled up and returned from App.Run
  • Specifying an Action with the legacy return signature of func(*cli.Context) will produce a deprecation message to stderr
  • Specifying an Action that is not a func type will produce a non-zero exit from App.Run
  • Specifying an Action func that has an invalid (input) signature will produce a non-zero exit from App.Run

Deprecated

  • cli.App.RunAndExitOnError, which should now be done by returning an error that fulfills cli.ExitCoder to cli.App.Run.
  • the legacy signature for cli.App.Action of func(*cli.Context), which should now have a return signature of func(*cli.Context) error, as defined by cli.ActionFunc.

Fixed

  • Added missing *cli.Context.GlobalFloat64 method
