The leftover arguments are empty in Click 6.0 Context

[ivankravets]

According to documentation args were accessed until Click < 6.

args = None
the leftover arguments.

Is this API removed in 6.0?

[mitsuhiko]

In which situation?

[ivankravets]

Here ctx.args is equal to [] for any commands. For example, platformio serialports monitor --baud 115200.

[mitsuhiko]

So that you got args for children there was a bug. Do you need that? nargs > 1 still captures that.

Exactly, I need args for children.

[ivankravets]

For example,

platformio -f -c eclipse run ...`

I just need run .... Do you have any ideas?

[ivankravets]

Do you need that? nargs > 1 still captures that.

@mitsuhiko don't understand what I should change. nargs option applies to arguments "type". However, the question was how to receive leftover arguments(including options, like valid portion of sys.args) from context using MultiCommand approach.

P.S: I have blocked issue for it platformio/platformio-core#349 and reduced temporary Click to <6.

Thanks in advance!

Are you looking for this maybe? http://click.pocoo.org/5/advanced/#forwarding-unknown-options

Test code

@click.command(cls=PlatformioCLI,
               context_settings=dict(
                   help_option_names=["-h", "--help"],
                   ignore_unknown_options=True
               ))
@click.version_option(__version__, prog_name="PlatformIO")
@click.option("--force", "-f", is_flag=True,
              help="Force to accept any confirmation prompts.")
@click.option("--caller", "-c", help="Caller ID (service).")
@click.pass_context
def cli(ctx, force, caller):
    print ctx.args   

Click < 6

$ platformio -f -c test  list
['list']
....

$ platformio -f -c test run -h
['run', '-h']
...

Click 6

$ platformio -f -c test run -h
[]

$ platformio run --target upload
[]
...

What is wrong in this code? Thanks.

[mitsuhiko]

I will have a look at that.

I'm getting downgrade to click 5.1 (by 2.7.1).

[ivankravets]

@orome It's ok. @platformio requires some functionality which doesn't work in Click 6. See related issue platformio/platformio-core#349

[mitsuhiko]

Just to leave some comments on this: I would like to somehow undo parts of Click 6 because it just does not work that way. Not entirely sure what the course of action is :(
