Print all the missing options in the error message
Thanks for the library! I'm using it to drive Bugzilla -> GitHub issues conversion tool: https://github.com/vlsi/bugzilla2github
I noticed that currently Clikt prints only the first The current behavior is Clikt stops at the first missing option, so the user has to re-run the command adding options one by one.
It would be nice if Clikt could collect and print all the failures at once (missing options, invalid values, etc)
class ManyOpts: NoOpCliktCommand() {
val int by option().int().required()
val string by option().required()
}
$ .. many-opts
Usage: root many-opts [OPTIONS]
Error: Missing option "--int"
I would expect that the error message would include all the missing options rather than just the first.
$ .. many-opts --int=1
Usage: root many-opts [OPTIONS]
Error: Missing option "--string"
So the user has to add options one-by-one.
The same goes when there's an error (it would be nice for the error message to include all the missing required options and all the options that can't be parsed):
$ .. many-opts --int=undefined
Usage: root many-opts [OPTIONS]
Error: Invalid value for "--int": undefined is not a valid integer
