Default command invoked when calling .showHelp

[wesleytodd]

const yargs = require('yargs')

yargs.command('$0', 'a default command', (yargs) => yargs, () => {
  console.log('default command!! why?')
})
yargs.showHelp((output) => {
  console.log(output)
})

The above application will also execute the default command even though we never called .argv or .parse. This seems like unexpected behavior to me and I could not find any docs on this. Is this intended for some reason I am unaware of?

@wesleytodd this definitely doesn't seem like intended behavior, thanks for the bug report.

@wesleytodd I believe I fixed this as part of my work in #1823

There's also now a helper await yargs.getHelp(), which you could use rather than the callback based approach. I'd love feedback, you can install via:

npm i yargs@next
