Sub-commands manual not generated

[ivansenic]

Hi,

We use such setup:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name='ap',
    version='1.0',
    packages=find_packages(),
    include_package_data=True,
    install_requires=[
        'Click'
    ],
    entry_points='''
        [console_scripts]
        ap=main:cli
    '''
)

with the dynamic sub-commands located in the [root]/scripts/commands and dynamic loading in the main.py:

COMMANDS_FOLDER = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'scripts', 'commands')

class ApCli(click.MultiCommand):

    def list_commands(self, ctx):
        """Provides names of all commands by searching the commands folder"""
        rv = []
        for filename in os.listdir(COMMANDS_FOLDER):
            # find py files, ignore the ones that start with __ (f.e. __init__.py)
            if filename.endswith('.py') and not filename.startswith('__'):
                rv.append(filename[:-3])
        rv.sort()
        return rv

    def get_command(self, ctx, name):
        """Returns compiled command for given name, expects that command has a function same as its name"""
        ns = {}
        fn = os.path.join(COMMANDS_FOLDER, name + '.py')
        if os.path.isfile(fn):
            with open(fn) as f:
                code = compile(f.read(), fn, 'exec')
                eval(code, ns, ns)
        else:
            return

        if ns.get(name) is not None:
            return ns[name]

@click.command(cls=ApCli)
@click.option('-v', '--verbose', is_flag=True, default=False, help='Enables verbose mode.')
@click.version_option()
@ap.pass_context
def cli(context, verbose):
    """Main entry point for the CLI"""
    context.logger.isVerbose = verbose

However manual get generated only for our main entry point and for nothing else.. Any idea how can we fix this?

Support for command groups seems to be missing generally, as I got this on my first test…

AttributeError: 'Group' object has no attribute 'get_short_help_str'

The AttributeError I think is an issue with Click < 7.0. https://github.com/click-contrib/click-man/pull/33 should fix this.
