Description
I have a command that calls other commands, and accepts an --options flag that can pass through arguments to these other commands; this requires unknown-options-as-args to be enabled. Some of these arguments have dashes in them. It seems yargs-parser will incorrectly parse unknown arguments with dashes in them when they resemble known arguments.
This is fixed by updating line 987 to:
//const flagEndingInNonWordCharacters = /^-+([^=]+?)\W+.*$/
const flagEndingInNonWordCharacters = /^-+([^=]+?)[^\w-]+.*$/I can open a PR if there's interest.
Example:
const cli = require('yargs/yargs')();
cli.command(
'$0',
'description',
(y) => {
y.parserConfiguration({ 'unknown-options-as-args': true });
return y.options({
'script-options': {
alias: 'options',
array: true,
default: []
},
'skip-packages': {
alias: ['skip', 'skip-package'],
string: true,
array: true,
default: []
}
});
},
(argv) => console.log('called')
);
// Correct behavior
cli.parseSync(['--options', '--task', '7'])
{
_: [],
options: [ '--task', 7 ],
'script-options': [ '--task', 7 ],
scriptOptions: [ '--task', 7 ],
'skip-packages': [],
skip: [],
'skip-package': [],
skipPackage: [],
skipPackages: [],
'$0': ''
}
// Wrong behavior
cli.parseSync(['--options', '--skip-task', '7'])
{
_: [],
options: [],
'script-options': [],
scriptOptions: [],
'skip-task': 7,
skipTask: 7,
'skip-packages': [],
skip: [],
'skip-package': [],
skipPackage: [],
skipPackages: [],
'$0': ''
}
