1.3.10 (September 17, 2020)

1.3.10 (September 17, 2020)

• Enhancements
  • Added user-settable option called always_show_hint. If True, then tab completion hints will always display even when tab completion suggestions print. Arguments whose help or hint text is suppressed will not display hints even when this setting is True.
  • argparse tab completion now groups flag names which run the same action. Optional flags are wrapped in brackets like it is done in argparse usage text.
  • default category decorators are now heritable by default and will propagate the category down the class hierarchy until overridden. There's a new optional flag to set heritable to false.
  • Added --silent flag to alias/macro create. If used, then no confirmation message will be printed when aliases and macros are created or overwritten.
  • Added --with_silent flag to alias/macro list. Use this option when saving to a startup script that should silently create aliases and macros.
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed issue where flag names weren't always sorted correctly in argparse tab completion

Plugin: External Test 0.2.0 (September 20, 2020)

• Updates version to 0.2.0
• Updates documentation to reflect the plugin's new home inside of the cmd2 main repository.

1.3.9 (September 03, 2020)

• Breaking Changes
  • CommandSet.on_unregister() is now called as first step in unregistering a CommandSet and not the last. CommandSet.on_unregistered() is now the last step.
• Enhancements
  • Added CommandSet.on_registered(). This is called by cmd2.Cmd after a CommandSet is registered and all its commands have been added to the CLI.
  • Added CommandSet.on_unregistered(). This is called by cmd2.Cmd after a CommandSet is unregistered and all its commands have been removed from the CLI.

1.3.8 (August 28, 2020)

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed issue where subcommand added with @as_subcommand_to decorator did not display help when called with -h/--help.
• Enhancements
  • add_help=False no longer has to be passed to parsers used in @as_subcommand_to decorator.
    Only pass this if your subcommand should not have the -h/--help help option (as stated in argparse documentation).

1.3.7 (August 27, 2020)

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixes an issue introduced in 1.3.0 with processing command strings containing terminator/separator character(s) that are manually passed to a command that uses argparse.

1.3.6 (August 27, 2020)

• Breaking changes
  • The functions cmd2 adds to Namespaces (get_statement() and get_handler()) are now Cmd2AttributeWrapper objects named cmd2_statement and cmd2_handler. This makes it easy to filter out which attributes in an argparse.Namespace were added by cmd2.
• Deprecations
  • Namespace.__statement__ will be removed in cmd2 2.0.0. Use Namespace.cmd2_statement.get() going forward.

1.3.5 (August 25, 2020)

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed RecursionError when printing an argparse.Namespace caused by custom attribute cmd2 was adding
• Enhancements
  • Added get_statement() function to argparse.Namespace which returns __statement__ attribute

1.3.4 (August 20, 2020)

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed AttributeError when CommandSet that uses as_subcommand_to decorator is loaded during cmd2.Cmd.__init__().
• Enhancements
  • Improved exception messages when using mock without spec=True. See testing documentation for more details on testing cmd2-based applications with mock.

1.3.3 (August 13, 2020)

1.3.3 (August 13, 2020)

• Breaking changes
  • CommandSet command functions (do_, complete_, help_) will no longer have the cmd2 app passed in as the first parameter after self since this is already a class member.
  • Renamed install_command_set() and uninstall_command_set() to register_command_set() and unregister_command_set() for better name consistency.
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed help formatting bug in Cmd2ArgumentParser when metavar is a tuple
  • Fixed tab completion bug when using CompletionItem on an argument whose metavar is a tuple
  • Added explicit testing against python 3.5.2 for Ubuntu 16.04, and 3.5.3 for Debian 9
  • Added fallback definition of typing.Deque (taken from 3.5.4)
  • Removed explicit type hints that fail due to a bug in 3.5.2 favoring comment-based hints instead
  • When passing a ns_provider to an argparse command, will now attempt to resolve the correct CommandSet instance for self. If not, it'll fall back and pass in the cmd2 app
• Other
  • Added missing doc-string for new cmd2.Cmd init parameters introduced by CommandSet enhancement

1.3.2 (August 10, 2020)

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed prog value of subcommands added with as_subcommand_to() decorator.
  • Fixed missing settings in subcommand parsers created with as_subcommand_to() decorator. These settings
    include things like description and epilog text.
  • Fixed issue with CommandSet auto-discovery only searching direct sub-classes
• Enhancements
  • Added functions to fetch registered CommandSets by type and command name
