`boot target -h` clears target/ as well as showing help #585

Closed HakimCassimallyBBC closed 6 years ago

HakimCassimallyBBC commented 7 years ago

e.g.

$ boot build
... wait some time...
# Aha!  I wonder if I can preserve target/ to speed up the next build!

$ boot target -h
... some help output

$ find target/   # oh noes, it all got deleted!

In general, asking for help shouldn't also do things, so this feels like a bug.

Agreed: -h shouldn't do anything. A PR would be most welcome.

I'm going to try and take this issue on. Would anyone be willing to point to me the function which clears out the target folder?

DonyorM commented 7 years ago

@alandipert @HakimCassimallyBBC I am no longer seeing this behavior on my machine. Is this issue fixed?

Also could not reproduce this issue, closing.
