ATTN: This project uses semantic versioning.
HandleExitCoder
is now correctly iterates over all errors in
a MultiError
. The exit code is the exit code of the last error or 1
if
there are no ExitCoder
s in the MultiError
.Usage
, Description
, ArgsUsage
, OnUsageError
correctly
propogatedErrWriter
is now passed downwards through command structure to avoid the
need to redefine itCommand
context into OnUsageError
rather than parent context so that
all fields are avaiableBefore
funcs are no longer double printedUsageText
in the help templates for commands and subcommands if
defined; otherwise build the usage as before (was previously ignoring this
field)IsSet
and GlobalIsSet
now correctly return whether a flag is set if
a program calls Set
or GlobalSet
directly after flag parsing (would
previously only return true
if the flag was set during parsing)OsExiter
. This exiting behavior was introduced in 1.19.0, but was
determined to be a regression in functionality. See the
PR for discussion.CommandsByName
type was added to make it easy to sort Command
s by name,
alphabeticallyaltsrc
now handles loading of string and int arrays from TOMLApp
via
CustomAppHelpTemplate
App
to be used with
CustomAppHelpTemplate
via ExtraInfo
HelpFlag
, VersionFlag
, and BashCompletionFlag
changed to explictly be
cli.Flag
s allowing for the use of custom flags satisfying the cli.Flag
interface to be used.ActionFunc
as
the Action
for a command would cause it to error rather than calling the
function. Should not have a affected declarative cases using func(c
*cli.Context) err)
.--generate-bash-completion
immediately after a flag that takes an argument.
Previously it call the application with --generate-bash-completion
as the
flag value.FlagsByName
was added to make it easy to sort flags (e.g. sort.Sort(cli.FlagsByName(app.Flags))
)Description
field was added to App
for a more detailed description of
the application (similar to the existing Description
field on Command
)go generate
altsrc
loaderSkipArgReorder
was added to allow users to skip the argument reordering.
This is useful if you want to consider all "flags" after an argument as
arguments rather than flags (the default behavior of the stdlib flag
library). This is backported functionality from the removal of the flag
reordering in the unreleased version
2ErrorFormatter
), the errors will
be formatted during output. Compatible with pkg/errors
.""
would be skipped rather than their value used).App.Writer
defaults to stdout

ingApp.Metadata

now respects environment variables. Previously it
would return false
if a flag was specified in the environment rather than
as an argumentaltsrc
s import paths were updated to use gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1
. This
fixes issues that occurred when gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1
was imported as well
as altsrc

and Command.Action
now prefer a return signature of
func(*cli.Context) error
, as defined by cli.ActionFunc
. If a non-nil
error
is returned, there may be two outcomes:
cli.ExitCoder
, then os.Exit
will be called
automaticallyApp.Run

with the legacy return signature of

func that has an invalid (input) signature will
produce a non-zero exit from App.Run

, which should now be done by returning an error
that fulfills cli.ExitCoder
to cli.App.Run
.cli.App.Action
of func(*cli.Context)
