livescript eats all argv flags

[appedemic]

Similar to #569 the livescript binary eats all flags in 1.3.1:

[~]$ mytool run --debug
results in:

Invalid option '--debug' - perhaps you meant '--help'?

and
[~]$ mytool run --help

prints the help for lsc.

Yes, you must use -- and then any arguments that could be mistakenly used by lsc.

Eg. lsc file.ls -- --my-flags-here

This is because the option library allows positional args anywhere. Should I put an option in the library to specify that positional args will be at the end?

This seems breaking backward compatibility pretty badly. There should either be a deprecation cycle (and notes in changelog) or restoring the old behaviour.

[gkz]

I agree, I will add an option in the optionator library and fix the behaviour in the next version

[gkz]

The functionality has been added to optionator, and the fix will be in the next version of LS
