--persist <persistance mode>
The persistence mode.
Part two...
I want to include in the description what each of these allowed values means. It looks like my only option is to include that in description, so I wrote the following code:
@Option(name = { "--persist" }, allowedValues = { "disabled", "auto", "rebind", "clean" },
title = "persistance mode",
description = "The persistence mode. Possible values are:\n"+
"disabled: will not read or persist any state; \n"+
"auto: will rebind to any existing state, or start up fresh if no state; \n"+
"rebind: will rebind to the existing state, or fail if no state available; \n"+
"clean: will start up fresh (not using any existing state)")
--persist <persistance mode>
The persistence mode. Possible values are: disabled: will not read
or persist any state; auto: will rebind to any existing state, or
start up fresh if no state; rebind: will rebind to any existing
state, or fail if no state available; clean: will start up fresh
(not using any existing state)
Note I can't work around this by padding the lines with spaces, because UsagePrinter. append has split on white space, trimming each word.
Part one...
I have an option where I define allowed values, but
help
doesn't show what those allowed values are.Help just shows:
Part two...
I want to include in the description what each of these allowed values means. It looks like my only option is to include that in
description
, so I wrote the following code:However, this discarded my new-line characters to just split the lines at 79 characters, wherever that happened to occur (presumably due to the code in https://github.com/airlift/airline/blob/master/src/main/java/io/airlift/airline/UsagePrinter.java
append
).Note I can't work around this by padding the lines with spaces, because
UsagePrinter. append
has split on white space, trimming each word.
