Invalid parsing when argument value begins with a slash #26

Closed Skippeh closed 7 years ago

Skippeh commented 7 years ago

If you for example have:

--filePath /root/folder

You will get the error:

Grouping of multiple short name arguments in one word(e.g. -a -b into -ab) is allowed only for switch arguments.Argument r is not a switch argument.

Surrounding the path with quotation marks doesn't help.

Hi, thanks for reporting this, I'll fix it. As a workaround, setting CommandLineParser.AcceptSlash to false might help here.

This is a problem of some features being enabled by default not playing well together in this case. So you can disable one of these AllowShortSwitchGrouping (which is for treating -abc as -a -b -c) AcceptSlash (which allows switches written as /a /b /c)

But I've added a check to the parser to be less eager trying to expand switches. So your example --filePath /root/folder should work in the next version, even with the default settings.
