Compatibility

MSRV is now 1.56.0 (#​3732)

Behavior

• Defaults no longer satisfy required and its variants (#​3793)
• When misusing ArgMatches::value_of and friends, debug asserts were turned into panics

Moving (old location deprecated)

• clap::{PossibleValue, ValueHint} to clap::builder::{PossibleValue, ValueHint}
• clap::{Indices, OsValues, ValueSource, Values} to clap::parser::{Indices, OsValues, ValueSource, Values}
• clap::ArgEnum to clap::ValueEnum (#​3799)

Replaced

• Arg::allow_invalid_utf8 with Arg::value_parser(value_parser!(PathBuf)) (#​3753)
• Arg::validator / Arg::validator_os with Arg::value_parser (#​3753)
• Arg::validator_regex with users providing their own builder::TypedValueParser (#​3756)
• Arg::forbid_empty_values with builder::NonEmptyStringValueParser / builder::PathBufValueParser (#​3753)
• Arg::possible_values with Arg::value_parser([...]), builder::PossibleValuesParser, or builder::EnumValueParser (#​3753)
• Arg::max_occurrences with arg.action(ArgAction::Count).value_parser(value_parser!(u8).range(..N)) for flags (#​3797)
• Arg::multiple_occurrences with ArgAction::Append or ArgAction::Count though positionals will need Arg::multiple_values (#​3772, #​3797)
• Command::args_override_self with ArgAction::Set (#​2627, #​3797)
• AppSettings::NoAutoVersion with ArgAction or Command::disable_version_flag (#​3800)
• AppSettings::NoHelpVersion with ArgAction or Command::disable_help_flag / Command::disable_help_subcommand (#​3800)
• ArgMatches::{value_of, value_of_os, value_of_os_lossy, value_of_t} with ArgMatches::{get_one,remove_one} (#​3753)
• ArgMatches::{values_of, values_of_os, values_of_os_lossy, values_of_t} with ArgMatches::{get_many,remove_many} (#​3753)
• ArgMatches::is_valid_arg with ArgMatches::{try_get_one,try_get_many} (#​3753)
• ArgMatches::occurrences_of with ArgMatches::value_source or ArgAction::Count (#​3797)
• ArgMatches::is_present with ArgMatches::contains_id or ArgAction::SetTrue (#​3797)
• ArgAction::StoreValue with ArgAction::Set or ArgAction::Append (#​3797)
• ArgAction::IncOccurrences with ArgAction::SetTrue or ArgAction::Count (#​3797)
• (derive) #[clap(parse(...))] replaced with: (#​3589, #​3794)
  • For default parsers (no parse attribute), deprecation warnings can be
    silenced by opting into the new behavior by adding either #[clap(action)]
    or #[clap(value_parser)] (ie requesting the default behavior for these
    attributes). Alternatively, the unstable-v4 feature changes the default
    away from parse to action/value_parser.
  • For #[clap(parse(from_flag))] replaced with #[clap(action = ArgAction::SetTrue)] (#​3794)
  • For #[clap(parse(from_occurrences))] replaced with #[clap(action = ArgAction::Count)] though the field's type must be u8 (#​3794)
  • For #[clap(parse(from_os_str)] for PathBuf, replace it with
    #[clap(value_parser)] (as mentioned earlier this will call
    value_parser!(PathBuf) which will auto-select the right ValueParser
    automatically).
  • For #[clap(parse(try_from_str = ...)], replace it with #[clap(value_parser = ...)]
  • For most other cases, a type implementing TypedValueParser will be needed and specify it with #[clap(value_parser = ...)]

Features

  • All ArgMatches getters do not assume required arguments (#​2505)
  • Add ArgMatches::remove_* variants to transfer ownership
  • Add ArgMatches::try_* variants to avoid panics for developer errors (#​3621)
  • Add a get_raw to access the underlying OsStrs
  • PathBuf value parsers imply ValueHint::AnyPath for completions (#​3732)

  • Default ArgAction is determine by a hard-coded lookup on the type (#​3794)
• Command::multicall is now stable for busybox-like programs and REPLs (#​2861, #​3684)

v3.0.0

Compare Source

Note: clap v3 has been in development for several years and has changed
hands multiple times. Unfortunately, our changelog might be incomplete,
whether in changes or their motivation.

Highlights

A special thanks to the maintainers, contributors, beta users, and sponsors who
have helped along this journey, especially kbknapp.

StructOpt Integration

StructOpt provides a serde-like declarative
approach to defining your parser. The main benefits we've seen so far from integrating are:

• Tighter feedback between the design of clap and the derives
• More universal traits. Crates exist for common CLI patterns
  (example)
  and we've re-designed the StructOpt traits so crates built on clap3 can be
  reused not just with other derives but also people using the builder API.
  People can even hand implement these so people using the builder API won't
  have the pay the cost for derives.

Custom Help Headings

Previously, clap automatically grouped arguments in the help as either
ARGS, FLAGS, OPTIONS, and SUBCOMMANDS.

You can now override the default group with Arg::help_heading and
App::subcommand_help_heading. To apply a heading to a series of arguments,
you can set App::help_heading.

Deprecations

While a lot of deprecations have been added to clean up the API (overloaded
meaning of Arg::multiple) or make things more consistent, some particular
highlights are:

• clap_app! has been deprecated in favor of the builder API with arg! (clap-rs/clap#2835)
• Arg::from_usage has been deprecated in favor of arg! (clap-rs/clap#3087)
  • Porting example
• The YAML API has been deprecated in favor the builder or derive APIs (clap-rs/clap#3087)

Migrating

From clap v2

1. Add CLI tests, -h and --help output at a minimum (recommendation: trycmd for snapshot testing)
2. Update your dependency
   1. If you use no-default-features: add the std feature
3. Resolve compiler errors
4. Resolve behavior changes
   1. Refactor your App creation to a function and add a test similar to the one below, resolving any of its assertions
   2. Look over the "subtle changes" under BREAKING CHANGES
   3. If using builder: test your application under various circumstances to see if ArgMatches asserts regarding AllowInvalidUtf8.
5. At your leisure: resolve deprecation notices

Example test:

fn app() -> clap::App<'static> {
    ...
}

#[test]
fn verify_app() {
    app().debug_assert();
}

From structopt 0.3.25

1. Add CLI tests, -h and --help output at a minimum (recommendation: trycmd for snapshot testing)
2. Replace your dependency from structopt = "..." to clap = { version = "3.0", features = ["derive"] }
   1. If you use no-default-features: add the std feature
3. Resolve compiler errors, including
   1. Update your use statements from structopt and structopt::clap to clap
4. Resolve behavior changes
   1. Add a test similar to the one below, resolving any of its assertions
   2. Look over the "subtle changes" under BREAKING CHANGES
5. At your leisure: resolve deprecation notices

Example test:

#[derive(clap::StructOpt)]
struct Args {
    ...
}

#[test]
fn verify_app() {
    use clap::IntoApp;
    Args::into_app().debug_assert()
}

From clap v3.0.0-beta.5

1. Add CLI tests, -h and --help output at a minimum (recommendation: trycmd for snapshot testing)
2. Update your dependency
   1. Add in derive, env, cargo, or unicode feature flags as needed
3. Resolve compiler errors
   1. If you use yaml, clap_app!, or usage parser: revert any changes you made for clap3
   2. Change Arg::about Arg::long_about back to help and long_help and change PossibleValue::about to help (clap-rs/clap#3075)
   3. Change AppSettings::HelpRequired to AppSettings::HelpExpected
   4. Change PossibleValue::hidden to PossibleValue::hide
   5. Change App::subcommand_placeholder to App::subcommand_value_name / App::subcommand_help_heading
4. Resolve behavior changes
   1. Add the above listed test appropriate for your application and resolve any problems it reports
   2. If using derive: see the structopt breaking changes section for Vec changes
   3. If using builder: test your application under various circumstances to see if ArgMatches asserts regarding AllowInvalidUtf8.
5. At your leisure: resolve deprecation notices

BREAKING CHANGES

From clap 2

Subtle changes (i.e. compiler won't catch):

• AppSettings::UnifiedHelpMessage is now default behaviour
  • {flags} and {unified} will assert if present in App::help_template
  • See clap-rs/clap#2807
• AppSettings::EnableColoredHelp is now the default behavior but can be
  opted-out with AppSettings::DisableColoredHelp
  (clap-rs/clap#2806)
• App::override_usage no longer implies a leading \t, allowing multi lined usages
• Arg::require_equals no longer implies ArgSettings::ForbidEmptyValues (#​2233)
• Arg::require_delimiter no longer implies ArgSettings::TakesValue and ArgSettings::UseValueDelimiter (#​2233)
• Arg::env, Arg::env_os, Arg::last, Arg::require_equals, Arg::allow_hyphen_values,
  Arg::hide_possible_values, Arg::hide_default_value, Arg::hide_env_values,
  Arg::case_insensitive and Arg::multiple_values no longer imply ArgSettings::TakesValue (#​2233)
• ArgMatches::is_present no longer checks subcommand names
• Some env variable values are now considered false for flags, not just "not-present" (clap-rs/clap#2539)
• Changed ...s meaning in usage parser. Before, it always meant multiple which is still true for --option [val].... Now [name]... --option [val] results in ArgSettings::MultipleOccurrences.
• Usage exit code changed from 1 to 2 (clap-rs/clap#1327)
• Reject --foo=bar when takes_value(false) (clap-rs/clap#1543)
• No longer accept an arbitrary number of - for long arguments (-----long)

Easier to catch changes:

• When using no-default-features, you now have to specify the std feature (reserved for future work)
• Gated env support behind env feature flag
  • Impacts Arg::env, Arg::env_os, Arg::hide_env_values, ArgSettings::HideEnvValues
  • See clap-rs/clap#2694
• Gated crate information behind cargo feature flag
  • Impacts crate_name!, crate_version!, crate_authors!, crate_description!, app_from_crate!

Performance

From clap 2

• Split out non-default unicode feature flag for faster builds and smaller binaries for ASCII-only CLIs.
• Split out non-default env feature flag for faster builds and smaller binaries.

Features

From clap 2

• Integration of structopt::StructOpt via clap::Parser (requires derive feature flag)

• Custom help headings

  • App::help_heading (apply to all future args)
  • Arg::help_heading (apply to current arg)
  • App::subcommand_help_heading along with App::subcommand_value_name (apply to subcommands)
  • See clap-rs/clap#805
  • AppSettings::UnifiedHelpMessage is now default behaviour (clap-rs/clap#2807)

• Deriving of ArgEnum for generating Arg::possible_values (requires derive feature flag)

• Disable built-in help/version behavior with AppSettings::NoAutoHelp and AppSettings::NoAutoVersion

• Change an existing arg with new builder method mut_arg (particularly helpful for --help and --version)

• Provide extra context in long help messages (--help) with before_long_help and after_long_help (clap-rs/clap#1903)

• Detect missing help descriptions via debug asserts by enabling AppSettings::HelpExpected

• Aliases for short flags (clap-rs/clap#1896)

• Validate UTF-8 values, rather than panicing during ArgMatches::value_of thanks to AppSettings::AllowInvalidUtf8ForExternalSubcommands and ArgSettings::AllowInvalidUtf8

  • Debug builds will assert when the ArgMatches calls do not match the UTF-8 setting.
  • See clap-rs/clap#751

• clap::PossibleValue to allow

  • Hiding (clap-rs/clap#2756)
  • Completion help for possible values for args (clap-rs/clap#2731)

• Added support for flag subcommands like pacman (clap-rs/clap#1361)

• Partial parsing via AppSettings::IgnoreErrors (clap-rs/clap#1880)

• Enable cmd help to print long help (--help instead of -h) with AppSettings::UseLongFormatForHelpSubcommand (clap-rs/clap#2435)

• Allow long arg abbreviations like we do with subcommands via AppSettings::InferLongArgs (clap-rs/clap#2435)

• Detect subcommands among positional arguments with AppSettings::SubcommandPrecedenceOverArg

• Give completion scripts hints with Arg::value_hint (clap-rs/clap#1793)

• Allow unsetting defaults with

• Arg::default_value_if, Arg::default_value_if_os, Arg::default_value_ifs,
  Arg::default_value_ifs_os (clap-rs/clap#1406)

• Interpret some env variable values as false for flags, in addition to "not-present" (clap-rs/clap#2539)

  • n, no, f, false, off, 0

• Added arg! macro for creating an Arg from a compile-time usage parser

• (Experimental) Busybox-like multi-call support

  • See AppSettings::Multicall behind unstable-multicall feature flag
  • See clap-rs/clap#1120

Fixes

From clap 2

• Correctly handle colored output on Windows
• Only generate version flags when App::version, App::long_version are set
  (see clap-rs/clap#2812)
• General completion script improvements
• Limited default help text wrapping to 100 when wrap_help feature is not enabled
• Be more specific than Arg::multiple with Arg::multiple_values and Arg::multiple_occurrences
• app_from_crate! defaults to separating multiple authors with ", "
• Ensure all examples work
• IgnoreCase is now unicode aware (requires unicode feature flag)
• Always respect ColorChoice::Never, even if that means we skip colors in some cases
• ArgMatches panics on unknown arguments
• Gracefully handle empty authors field in Cargo.toml with app_from_crate
• Do not show --help in cmd help with DisableHelpFlag (clap-rs/clap#3169)
• Do not show --help in cmd help help that doesn't work (clap-rs/clap#3169)

From structopt 0.3.25

• Support SubcommandsNegateReqs by allowing required Option<_>s (clap-rs/clap#2255)
• Infer AllowInvalidUtf8 based on parser (clap-rs/clap#751)
• Gracefully handle empty authors field in Cargo.toml
• Don't panic with default_value_os but treat it like default_value (clap-rs/clap#3031)
• When using flatten and subcommand, ensure our doc comment always overrides the nested container's doc comment, whether it has only about or about and long_about (fix(derive)!: Set both about/long_about with doc comments  clap-rs/clap#3175)
