How is ArgumentRequiresOtherArgumentsCertification supposed to work?

[mhsimkin]

I have defined my arguments as:

[DistinctGroupsCertification("s", "h,p")]
    [ArgumentRequiresOtherArgumentsCertification("h", "p,c,i,o")]
    internal class CommandLineArguments
    {
         ValueArgument(typeof(string), 's', "serverName", Description = "The friendly name given to the rabbit server connection.")]
        public string ServerName { get; set; }

        [ValueArgument(typeof(string), 'h', "hostName", Description = "The fully qualified host name of the rabbit server.")]
        public string ServerHostName { get; set; }

        [ValueArgument(typeof(int), 'p', "port", Description = "The port that should be used to connect to the rabbit server.", DefaultValue = 5672)]
        public int Port { get; set; }

        [RegexValueArgument('c', "credentials", CredentialsRegEx,
            Description =
                "The username and password that needs to be used to connect to the rabbit server.  This needs to be in the format username|password")]
        public string Credentials { get; set; }

        [ValueArgument(typeof(string), 'v', "virtualHost", Description = "The virtual host on the rabbit server that contains the scribe exchanges.", DefaultValue = "v.pds.ren.scribe")]
        public string ScribeVirtualHost { get; set; }

        [ValueArgument(typeof(string), 'i', "input", Description = "The scribe input exchange.", DefaultValue = "e.pds.tools.scribe.input")]
        public string ScribeInputExchange { get; set; }

        [ValueArgument(typeof(string), 'o', "output", Description = "The scribe output exchange.", DefaultValue = "e.pds.tools.scribe.output")]
        public string ScribeOutputExchange { get; set; }
}

When I run the application and pass the following on the command line:

-h dwerecrq01.hq.bn-corp.com -c renscribeui@Lithium3

I'm getting a CommandLineException thrown that contains this message:

None of these arguments: h can be used together with any of these: p,c,i,o.

I expected that the parse should of passed as I had default values for p, i, and o.

I'm confused as to why I'm getting a message informing me that I can't use p,c,i,o with h.

Thanks

Hi, I'll take a look, it is possible that the parser doesn't take the default values into account (which I agree would be expected). Are you using the latest version? I think I've fixed the bug with the wrong error message..

Should be fixed in 3.0.14, thanks for reporting the issue.
