92ea23a837 Fix subcommand locations with NoOptDefValue flags (#391)
If one ran a command like

./root --boolFlag subcmd1 subcmd2

Thing worked fine. The code recognized that --boolFlag followed by a
space meant the next word was not the argument to --boolFlag. But other
flag types with a NoOptDefValue (like a Count flag) would not ignore the
"argument".  On a command like:

./root --countflag subcmd1 subcmd2

The processor, when looking for a subcommand, would first throw out the
`--countflag subcmd1` and then look for subcmd2 under root.

The fix is to ignore the next word after any NoOptDefVal flag, not just
boolean flags.

67feb8173c Add support for setting a function to handle flag parsing errors.
The default pflag error is to only print the bad flag. This enables an application
to include a usage message or other details about the error.

8af2b2b89f No newline after Flags in usage
The flags usage template from pflags has a trailing \n. We need to

trim the newline from the end of the flags from pflag and we can do it
right outselves.

6d2f1d2fa7 Ability to hide commands from usage/help text
Added the ability to have hidden commands that cobra will still run as intended, however they won't show up in any usage/help text

adding internal field to command

private is a better name

hiding private commands in default help/usage

opting for 'hidden' over 'private'

updating all 'help command' checks to exclude hidden commands

updating how commands are displayed in usage/help text by updating/adding some methods. added tests for hidden/deprecated commands

making command hidden when testing hidden command execution

test now leverage the included suite and are much less custom. also removed deprecation tests, once I discovered them in cobra_test.go

updating hidden command test to be more reliable

removing unnecessary () when checking len(c.Deprecated)

updating command comments to be godoc friendly

27bf24802c Redo HelpFunc() to work things other than the help subcommand
Today the HelpFunc() seemed to be tailor built for the `help`
subcommand. Which has a rather weird purpose as its `Run` needs to
find the actual command we want to get help about.

Instead make the HelpFunc() for a command be about that command,
rather than having it search for some other command...

e8bd799c1c Display pflag.CommandLine flags as if they were declared on the parent
```go
package main

import (
	"github.com/spf13/cobra"
	"github.com/spf13/pflag"
)

func main() {
	cmd := &cobra.Command{
		Use:   "min",
		Short: "minimal command",
		Run:   func(_ *cobra.Command, _ []string) {},
	}

	pflag.String("oncmdline", "oncmdline", "oncmdline")
	cmd.Execute()
}
```

Is a minimal cobra program.  When --help is displayed without this patch
you only get:

But with the patch --oncmdline is shows under flags.

The template had gotten out of control. It was basically unparsable.

'additional help topics' in a couple of fewer places, but I doubt people
complain too much...

bd0f8a846e Stop special casing runnable root commands
The special case code to handle a runnable root command had some
problems.  It was noticed that if you created a runnable root and a
subcommand.  And the subcommand was then executed with both a valid and
invalid flag, the error message was about the valid flag being invalid.
For example

./command subcommand --goodflag=10 --badflag=10

Would fail and tell you that --goodflag was an invalid flag. Instead if
we just do away with the special Command.execute() for the root command
the parser for subcommand is what prints the error and it gets it
right...

fd10548830 Fix additional help topics template
The additional help topics were really hard to ever get to show.  The
required conditionals were difficult to meet and did not seem to really
be logical.

Problems I see:
1) the top level command could never have additional topics.
2) you must have at least one sibling command AND one subcommand
3) we had the AND above, but then test both conditionals a second time
4) if the sub command was runnable we wouldn't print anything
5) if the sibling commands were not runnable we wouldn't print anything
4+5) it's possible that we printed "Additional help topics:" with nothing following it
6) We always printed ourselves as a sibling in the additional info

Whew, I think I fixed all of those!  Again, using
https://github.com/eparis/readable-golang-template
I'm actually able to visualize the template and see this craziness.

The conditionals BEFORE this change:

{{if .HasParent}}
        {{if and (gt .Commands 0) (gt .Parent.Commands 1) }}
                Additional help topics:
                {{if gt .Commands 0 }}
                        {{range .Commands}}
                                {{if not .Runnable}}
                                        {{rpad .CommandPath .CommandPathPadding}} {{.Short}}
                                {{end}}
                        {{end}}
                {{end}}
                {{if gt .Parent.Commands 1 }}
                        {{range .Parent.Commands}}

c64442a487 fix usage template conditional
I wrote https://github.com/eparis/readable-golang-template which
converts golang templates into something structured around the
conditionals.  Obviously you can't just USE the output, but you can SEE
the problems.  In this case the output shows something like:

{{if .HasParent}}
        {{if and (gt .Commands 0) (gt .Parent.Commands 1) }}
                Additional help topics:
                {{if gt .Commands 0 }}
                        {{range .Commands}}
                                {{if not .Runnable}}
                                        {{rpad .CommandPath .CommandPathPadding}} {{.Short}}
                                {{end}}
                        {{end}}
                {{end}}
                {{if gt .Parent.Commands 1 }}
                        {{range .Parent.Commands}}
                                {{if .Runnable}}
                                        {{if not (eq .Name $cmd.Name) }}
                                        {{end}}
                                        {{rpad .CommandPath .CommandPathPadding}} {{.Short}}
                                {{end}}
                        {{end}}
                {{end}}
        {{end}}
{{end}}

We have a completely unused "{{if not (eq .Name $cmd.Name) }}"

Move the {{end}} after the {{rpad...}}

f81b784738 Make flags declared outside spf13.pflag persistent flags on the parent
Some projects pick up flags from other projects they include.  A great
example would be projects that use glog and thus get all of those flags.
Kubernetes, for example, merges those flags manually into its commands.

This was reported in https://github.com/spf13/cobra/issues/44

What this patch does is merge those flags into the PersistentFlags on
the highest parent.  This allows kubernetes to stop having to merge
things themselves...

6de96b849c Default usage output to stdout
If the command has not set an output explicitly everything will go to
stderr.  This makes a lot of sense, but is a huge PITA for people who
want to be able to grep the help output.  It is very common for users to
want to do

command --help | grep flag

This patch fixes that by default help output (but not error output like
an invalid command) to stdout instead of defaulting to stderr.

f479c924b8 Add Command's RemoveCommand method
This method removes children commands of an existing command.

This allows to build CLI clients that can be extended by 3rd party tools,
for instance by adding commands _and replacing the “version” command_.

For now the 1st defined command will be executed, so it is not possible
to override an existing command. But anyway, deleting old command then
adding a new one is the ultimate way to be certain there is no
confusion.

5c9146990b Explicitly support local flags overwriting persistent/inherited flags
The current (desired) behavior when a Command specifies a flag that
has the same name as a persistent/inherited flag, is that the local
definition takes precedence. This change updates the various
Flag subset functions to respect that behavior:
* LocalFlags: now returns only the set of flags and persistent flags
  attached to the Command itself.
* InheritedFlags: now returns only the set of persistent flags inherited
  from the Command's parent(s), excluding any that are overwritten by a
  local flag.
* NonInheritedFlags: changed to an alias of LocalFlags.
* AllPersistentFlags: removed as not very useful; it returned the set
  of all persistent flags attached to the Command and its parent(s).

Default UsageTemplate updated to use LocalFlags and InheritedFlags

4745f1fd64 In execute(), check if command is Runnable()
A corner case exists where c.Runnable() is not checked
before c.Run() is called, thus a nil c.Run is executed
leading to "panic: runtime error: invalid memory address
or nil pointer dereference".

This patch adds an extra c.Runnable() check in execute()
to catch that corner case.

Fixes #37.

9b6c92647a When no subcommands are registered, omit command help output
For a single root command with a Run method, the help output still
contains 'help [command]' as a subcommand (because Help is always
added). Since the only subcommand would be 'help', the help is better
off omitted.

This change allows a command to be used both as a subcommand
or a root command without having to define a custom help that elides
the help command when no subcommands are added.  Instead, the default
help command is only added when subcommands are present.

667c348dbd Test behavior for subcommand with same name as root command
If, for some reason, you have an application with some name "foo", and your
app has a subcommand "foo", cobra should behave properly when you call
"foo foo", and it should also behave if you call "foo f".

These changes verify both of these cases and ensure cobra responds properly.
