From e598e2160323b63310ad7b6def723eb1f8767f90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ond=C5=99ej=20M=C3=ADchal?= Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2021 18:18:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cmd/root: Work around Cobra 1.1.2's handling of usage functions In version 1.1.2 of Cobra has been included a change[0] that changes how custom usage functions are handled. Example of the wrong behaviour: $ toolbox --foo Error: unknown flag: --foo Run 'toolbox --help' for usage.Error: Run 'toolbox --help' for usage. Desired behaviour: $ toolbox --foo Error: unknown flag: --foo Run 'toolbox --help' for usage. A workaround is to define a template string for the usage instead. The template uses the templating language of Go[1]. See the default template string in version 1.2.1[2]. Because the template is set only once, the executableBase needs to be set before the template is applied. That required the move of setUpGlobals() into init() of the cmd package. This is a better place for the function call as init() is called earlier than Execute()[3].
