Using cmdns with cobra init'd app

[josegonzalez]

I tried adding cmdns as displayed here in an app that was created via cobra init, but can't get the subcommands to work properly. Here is the output I get when trying to execute apps:info:

$ go run main.go apps:info
Error: unknown command "apps:info" for "pound"
Run 'pound --help' for usage.
unknown command "apps:info" for "pound"
exit status 1

Any pointers as to how I screwed this up would be great! I tried adding cmdns to both the RootCmd and the appsCmd to no avail :(

Tracked it down to this change ... spf13/cobra#390

@kraman thanks for looking into this! I wouldn't know where to begin with "un-caching" the name. Maybe cobra should just support this subcommand method by default?

Only place Name() being used is https://github.com/gosuri/cmdns/blob/master/cmdns.go#L113.
Probably just needs to split .Use and use it instead of calling Name()

Looking a little further, I think the issue is that when the command is copied here https://github.com/gosuri/cmdns/blob/master/cmdns.go#L112, it also copies the cached name. If you only copy the public members, then it would work fine.

The same issue maybe related to #2 as well
