[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-15?page=all ] Henri Yandell reopened CLI-15: ------------------------------
Looks like there was a comment post-resolving, so re-opening. > [cli] HelpFormatter does not handle groups properly > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CLI-15 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-15 > Project: Commons CLI > Type: Bug > Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Operating System: All > Platform: All > Reporter: Etienne Pelletier > Fix For: 2.0 > Attachments: HelpFormatter.java, Option.java > > The HelpFormatter repeats Options that have previously been printed with the > group. > The problem is in the else block where options not belonging to a group are > printed. The code gets executed if it does not belong to a group -OR- if the > group has already been printed. > if( group != null && !list.contains(group)) { > // this gets executed when a new group is found > ... > } else { > // this gets executed if the group is OR ISN'T null, and if group is in > list. > .... > } > The else statement on line 267 should be as follows: > } else if (group == null) { > // This will make sure that options that have not been printed as part of a > group > // will not get printed again. > ... > } > I believe this change fixes the problem. > Also, the append on line 264 should add an extra space after the ] to make > sure > that there will be a space between the ] and the next option. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
