chore(deps): update module github.com/spf13/cobra to v1.6.1 - autoclosed

SWE Renovate requested to merge renovate/github.com-spf13-cobra-1.x into master

This MR contains the following updates:

Package Type Update Change
github.com/spf13/cobra require minor v1.2.1 -> v1.6.1

Release Notes

spf13/cobra

v1.6.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes 🐛
  • Fixes a panic when AddGroup isn't called before AddCommand(my-sub-command) is executed. This can happen within more complex cobra file structures that have many different inits to be executed. Now, the check for groups has been moved to ExecuteC and provides more flexibility when working with grouped commands - @​marckhouzam (and shout out to @​aawsome, @​andig and @​KINGSABRI for a deep investigation into this! 👏🏼)

Summer 2022 Release

Some exciting changes make their way to Cobra! Command completions continue to get better and better (including adding --help and --version automatic flags to the completions list). Grouping is now possible in your help output as well! And you can now use the OnFinalize method to cleanup things when all "work" is done. Checkout the full changelog below:

Features 🌠
Deprecation 👎🏼
  • ExactValidArgs is deprecated (but not being removed entirely). This is abit nuanced, so checkout #​1643 for further information and the updated user_guide.md on how this may affect you (and how you can take advantage of the correct behavior in the validators): @​umarcor #​1643

Note: Per #​1804, we will be moving away from "seasonal" releases and doing more generic point release targets. Continue to track the milestones and issues in the spf13/cobra GitHub repository for more information!

Great work everyone! Cobra would never be possible without your contributions! 🐍

Spring 2022 Release 🌥️

Hello everyone! Welcome to another release of cobra. Completions continue to get better and better. This release adds a few really cool new features. We also continue to patch versions of our dependencies as they become available via dependabot. Happy coding!

Active help 👐🏼

Shout out to @​marckhouzam for a big value add: Active Help https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1482. With active help, a program can provide some inline warnings or hints for users as they hit tab. Now, your CLIs can be even more intuitive to use!

Currently active help is only supported for bash V2 and zsh. Marc wrote a whole guide on how to do this, so make sure to give it a good read to learn how you can add this to your cobra code! https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/active_help.md

Group flags 🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏼

Cobra now has the ability to mark flags as required or exclusive as a group. Shout out to our newest maintainer @​johnSchnake for this! https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1654 Let's say you have a username flag that MUST be partnered with a password flag. Well, now, you can enforce those as being required together:

rootCmd.Flags().StringVarP(&u, "username", "u", "", "Username (required if password is set)")
rootCmd.Flags().StringVarP(&pw, "password", "p", "", "Password (required if username is set)")
rootCmd.MarkFlagsRequiredTogether("username", "password")

Flags may also be marked as "mutally exclusive" with the MarkFlagsMutuallyExclusive(string, string ... ) command API. Refer to our user guide documentation for further info!

Winter 2022 Release ❄️

Another season, another release!

Goodbye viper! 🐍 🚀

The core Cobra library no longer requires Viper and all of its indirect dependencies. This means that Cobra's dependency tree has been drastically thinned! The Viper dependency was included because of the cobra CLI generation tool. This tool has migrated to spf13/cobra-cli.

It's pretty unlikely you were importing and using the bootstrapping CLI tool as part of your application (after all, it's just a tool to get going with core cobra).

But if you were, replace occurrences of

"github.com/spf13/cobra/cobra"

with

"github.com/spf13/cobra-cli"

And in your go.mod, you'll want to also include this dependency:

github.com/spf13/cobra-cli v1.3.0

Again, the maintainers do not anticipate this being a breaking change to users of the core cobra library, so minimal work should be required for users to integrate with this new release. Moreover, this means the dependency tree for your application using Cobra should no longer require dependencies that were inherited from Viper. Huzzah! 🥳

v1.3.0 - The Fall 2021 release 🍁

Completion fixes & enhancements 💇🏼

In v1.2.0, we introduced a new model for completions. Thanks to everyone for trying it, giving feedback, and providing numerous fixes! Continue to work with the new model as the old one (as noted in code comments) will be deprecated in a coming release.

  • DisableFlagParsing now triggers custom completions for flag names #​1161
  • Fixed unbound variables in bash completions causing edge case errors #​1321
  • help completion formatting improvements & fixes #​1444
  • All completions now follow the help example: short desc are now capitalized and removes extra spacing from long description #​1455
  • Typo fixes in bash & zsh completions #​1459
  • Fixed mixed tab/spaces indentation in completion scripts. Now just 4 spaces #​1473
  • Support for different bash completion options. Bash completions v2 supports descriptions and requires descriptions to be removed for menu-complete, menu-complete-backward and insert-completions. These descriptions are now purposefully removed in support of this model. #​1509
  • Fix for invalid shell completions when using ~/.cobra.yaml. Log message Using config file: ~/.cobra.yaml now printed to stderr #​1510
  • Removes unnecessary trailing spaces from completion command descriptions #​1520
  • Option to hide default completion command #​1541
  • Remove __complete command for programs without subcommands #​1563

Generator changes ⚙️

Thanks to @​spf13 for providing a number of changes to the Cobra generator tool, streamlining it for new users!

  • The Cobra generator now won't automatically include Viper and cleans up a number of unused imports when not using Viper.
  • The Cobra generator's default license is now none
  • The Cobra generator now works with Go modules
  • Documentation to reflect these changes

New Features ⭐

  • License can be specified by their SPDX identifiers #​1159
  • MatchAll allows combining several PositionalArgs to work in concert. This now allows for enabling composing PositionalArgs #​896

Bug Fixes 🐛

Testing 👀

  • Now testing golang 1.16.x and 1.17.x in CI #​1425
  • Fix for running diff test to ignore CR for windows #​949
  • Added helper functions and reduced code reproduction in args_test #​1426
  • Now using official golangci-lint github action #​1477

Security 🔏

Documentation 📝

  • Multiple projects added to the projects_using_cobra.md file: #​1377 #​1501 #​1454
  • Removed ToC from main readme file as it is now automagically displayed by GitHub #​1429
  • Documentation correct for when the --author flag is specified #​1009
  • shell_completions.md has an easier to use snippet for copying and pasting shell completions #​1372

Other 💭

  • Bump version of cpuguy83/go-md2man to v2.0.1 #​1460
  • Removed lesser typo from the GPL-2.0 license #​880
  • Fixed spelling errors #​1514

Thank you to all our amazing contributors ⭐🐍🚀
