import commandline

commandline:
    arguments(TEST, string, false)

Still expects at least one argument. Error is "Missing command line arguments".

commandline:
  subcommand codecmd, "code":
    arguments name, string
    exitoption "help", "h", codeUsage

  subcommand newSecretcmd, "newSecret":
    arguments newSecretName, string
    exitoption "help", "h", newSecretUsage

  subcommand lscmd, "ls":
    exitoption "help", "h", lsUsage

  exitoption "help", "h", usageHelp

$ totptool --help                                 
Usage: totptool code <name>

This will generate a TOTP code for the given secret
name in the secret store.

Code is here. Is this intended?

Getting commandeer.nim(114, 8) Error: undeclared identifier: 'strtabs' as error message when trying to compile on latest version of the compiler.

I'm not sure if it makes sense to leave the bind statements in the templates, since this is the default behavior for symbol binding anyway.

One should be able to provide default values for options.

When an argument is missing, an error is thrown. So this code guarantees that the param is provided:

commandline:
  argument foo, int

But with subcommands, this is not so. This code does not guarantee that the command is specified:

commandline:
  subcommand sub, "sub":
    argument foo, int

I have been using comandeer happily, but now need to collect multiple values of an argument. To support this, if an option is specified as:

option name, seq[type], long, short [, default]

Perhaps that could trigger the ability to receive multiple values of type?

commandline:
    option variableA, string, "var", "v", "default"

# none of the following work
executable --var:
# out: Missing value for option 'var'
executable --var=
# out: Missing value for option 'var'
executable --var ""
# out: Couldn't convert '' to string

There should only be an error if the user hasn't explicitly given a blank value, like the following

executable --var
# out: Missing value for option 'var'

Consider the following code:

commandline:
  argument path, string
  option target, char, "target", "t"

Calling myapp -t t path doesn't throw an error but doesn't do the expected thing, because path is t and target is empty. The correct call is myapp -t:t path or myapp -t=t path.

It should either throw an error or set target to t in the first case.

I would be great to be able to define a subcommand like so:

commandline:
  subcommand build, ["build", "make"]:
    option projectPath, string, "path", "p", "."
    option targetFormat, string, "target", "t"
    exitoption "help", "h", buildUsage

I.e. provide multiple names pointing to the same subcommand.

I am using nim 0.13.0. Updating from 0.9.1 to 0.10.2 fails with:

/Volumes/Macintosh_HD/Users/shauncutts/.nimble/pkgs/commandeer-0.10.2/commandeer.nim(246, 7) Error: expression 'strtabs' has no type (or is ambiguous)

Calling context:

  var appName = getAppFilename()
  {.push warning[Deprecated]:off.}

    option verbosity, int, "verbosity", "v", 0
    option bail, bool, "bail", "b", false
    option tags, string, "tags", "t", nil
    option defineTags, string, "define", "d", nil

    exitoption "help", "h", 
      "\n" & """Usage: $1 [path [path ...] ]
    where paths may denote ".feature" files or directories. Paths ending in 
    "/**" will be searched recursively for features. By default, "./features"
    directory is searched.

This module should automatically generate the help text based on the command line interface provided and not force you to repeat yourself. Kinda the opposite of: https://github.com/docopt/docopt.nim
