How to have options using boolean values and how to pass them through command line?

[djpirra]

Hi everyone,

I am using this library for the first time, and I tried to create a boolean option with a default value of true, like this:

[Option("-h|--header", Description = "Specify if source file contains header row")] private bool HasHeader { get; } = true;

When I am trying to pass the parameter I am getting the following message: "Unexpected value 'true' for Option 'header'"

I have tried passing the parameter on powershell command line like this: --header:true -h true -h $true -h 1 -h=true

Nothing seems to work out.

Anyone have achieved this?

Try setting the option type. [Option("-h|--header", CommandOptionType.SingleValue, ... By default, bool is treated as CommandOptionType.NoValue.
