Is it possible to pass arg via code and kwargs by cli (sys.argv) ?

[ThoenigAdrian]

Is it possible to do something like that ? Couldn't find anything in the documentation.

def run_test(test_files, test_list=None):
    print(test_files) # this will be passed by the code
    print(test_list) # this should come from cli 

def main():
    test_files = find_test_files() # some function which produces a list as output
    fire.Fire(run_test, test_files) # use test_files from above but also use kwargs from command line 

main()

CLI:

    python run_autotests.py --test_list='["smoke_test"]'

I think you could use functools for this.

import functools

def run_test(test_files, test_list=None):
    print(test_files) # this will be passed by the code
    print(test_list) # this should come from cli 

def main():
    test_files = find_test_files() # some function which produces a list as output
    modified_run_test = functools.partial(run_test, test_files=test_files)  # This gives a new func where test_files has already been applied.
    fire.Fire(run_test, test_files) # use test_files from above but also use kwargs from command line 

main()

I haven't double checked that this works. Give it a try and report back?
