Stop switch doesn't seem to work?

[camertron]

I'm trying to write a subcommand with a stop switch (i.e. --) but GLI always spits out an error saying I've provided too many arguments:

command :deploy do |d|
  d.command :exec do |subcmd|
    subcmd.desc '0-based instance index'
    subcmd.default_value 0
    subcmd.arg_name 'INSTANCE'
    subcmd.flag [:n, :instance], type: Fixnum

    subcmd.action do |global_options, options, args|
      # assumed one of these arguments would include the rest of the command
    end
  end
end

$> bin/executable deploy exec -n 0 -- ls
error: Too many arguments for command

What am I doing wrong?

Weird. This works for me. Can you post a fuller example that I can try locally to debug?

[camertron]

Yep :) Here's a repo I put together that demonstrates the issue.

OK, figured it out. You have arguments :strict (which I think the generator uses by default), which means that if you don't specify an arg for a command, it will error out.

It's weird, but to set the arg for subcmd, you set it on d, but if you do this, it does work.

Huh ok thanks! Might be worth a mention in the README :)
