Bug: Global options defined in sub-commands are not seen, and cannot be used in sub-sub-commnds.
Environment
.NET Core Version: 3.1.103
Target Framework: netcoreapp3.1
Package Version: 2.0.0-beta1.20253.1
OS: Fedora 32
Description of the problem When defining a global option in the root command, the option will correctly appear in all subsequently nested sub-commands. However when defining a global option in a command other than the root command, the option will not appear in subsequently nested sub-commands.
Steps to reproduce The following code demonstrates the issue:
namespace ConsoleApp {
using System;
using System.CommandLine;
using System.CommandLine.Invocation;
class Program {
static int Main(string[] args) {
var root = new RootCommand("My console program");
root.AddGlobalOption(new Option<bool>(new string[] {"--root-option", "-r"}, "This is a the root command global option"));
var cmd = new Command("subcmd", "This is the sub-command");
cmd.AddGlobalOption(new Option<bool>(new string[] {"--sub-option", "-s"}, "This is a the sub-command global option"));
var sub = new Command("subsubcmd", "This is a the sub-sub-command");
sub.AddOption(new Option<bool>(new string[] {"--sub-sub-option", "-u"}, "This is a the sub-sub-command option"));
cmd.AddCommand(sub);
root.AddCommand(cmd);
return root.Invoke(args);
}
}
}
Expected behaviour
invoking the the program with ConsoleApp subcmd subsubcmd --help should return:
subsubcmd:
This is a the sub-sub-command
Usage:
ConsoleApp subcmd subsubcmd [options]
Options:
-u, --sub-sub-option This is a the sub-sub-command option
-s, --sub-option This is a the sub-command global option
-r, --root-option This is a the root command global option
-?, -h, --help Show help and usage information
Actual behaviour
The actual behaviour of the program with ConsoleApp subcmd subsubcmd --help returns the following
subsubcmd:
This is a the sub-sub-command
Usage:
ConsoleApp subcmd subsubcmd [options]
Options:
-u, --sub-sub-option This is a the sub-sub-command option
-r, --root-option This is a the root command global option
-?, -h, --help Show help and usage information
The issue is not just merely visual, the option cannot be set when called from the sub-sub-command. Invoking the program with `ConsoleApp subcmd subsubcmd -s' will return:
'-s' was not matched. Did you mean '-u', or '-r', or '-h'?
Unrecognized command or argument '-s'
