Options' defaults not used when using command with init function

[barbu110]

Hello!

First of all, I'd like to say I really like args. It has a few things it's not doing correctly right now, but it's going on a great path.

I created an executable, let's call it myexec:

args.options([{
  name: 'target',
  default: 'dev',
  description: '...',
}]);

args.command('cmd', 'description', (name, sub, options) => {
  console.log(options);
});

Running it goes as follows:

$ ./myexec cmd
{}

The options object should contain the default value of target and it's missing. I think this is a bad problem unless a simple workaround exists. What do you think?

Hey @barbu110, the correct property for defining a default value is defaultValue. You've used default. Can you try again and tell us if this fixed your issue?

even though his example is wrong, he's correct. This though seems to be by design

  // If sub command is defined, run it
  if (defined) {
    this.runCommand(defined, optionList)
    return {}
  }

  // Hand back list of options
  return optionList
