Basically the same as #1517 but uses the Set<field> naming convention instead of WithContext

Context setting without execution is important because it means that more design patterns can be achieved.

Currently I am using functional options in a project and I can add behaviour through functional options as such:

type GrptlOption func(*cobra.Command) error

func WithFileDescriptors(descriptors ...protoreflect.FileDescriptor) GrptlOption {
	return func(cmd *cobra.Command) error {
		err := CommandFromFileDescriptors(cmd, descriptors...)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	}
}

I've got a lot more options and this pattern allows me to have nice abstracted pieces of logic that interact with the cobra command.

This Pattern also allows for adding extra information to a call through PreRun functions:

cmd := &cobra.Command{
		Use: "Foobar",
		PersistentPreRun: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
			err :=cmd.SetContext(metadata.AppendToOutgoingContext(context.Background(), "pre", "run"))
		},
	}

This is a veer nice abstraction and allows for these functions to be very modular

The issue I'm facing at the moment is that I can't write a nifty option (something like WithAuthentication) because that needs access to reading and setting the context. Currently I can only read the context.

Needing to use ExecuteContext breaks this abstraction because I need to run it right at the end.

Awesome! Thanks for this contribution. I'd love some community feedback as well.

And is it possible you could write some tests for this?

I think this would be great for a v2.0 - will hold till we get some more feedback

Hey, added some tests; the main use cases I see are:

  • Setting context before a run (as an alternative to cmd.ExecuteContext())
    • This would allow packages to add information to the context using functional options for example
  • Setting the context through a PreRun or PersistentPreRun hook

I've put tests for both these cases, also one to ensure that ExecuteContext overwrites any SetContext that was called before

Would love to see this merged soon. Would make parsing config in PersistentPreRunE and setting the values on context much easier!!

I'd like to have this merged asap as well.

I've started designing my CLI tool and intended to use the context to populate the core data needed by all subcommands, only to find out that there is no legit way right now to update the context after it was passed into the root ExecuteContext() call.

I intend to use it exactly as the second use case above describes - parse and load additional data in the PreRun hook, add it to the context, and pass this enriched context along for all downstream subcommands to use.

It's not possible to do that today, so for now I'll have to do all loading before handing off the execution to cobra. I hope this will be merged quickly and I'll be able to use a more elegant way to load data when appropriate rather than fully upfront.

I like this PR as its so narrowly scoped. Just needs to fix up the golangci-lint issues and I think this should merge.

To respond to the question of "why is this needed?":

Currently to pass around information from pre run hooks a global variable needs to be declared:

func TestFoo(t *testing.T){
	globalVar := "default"
	root := &Command{
		Use: "root",
		PreRun: func(cmd *Command, args []string) {
			globalVar = "not default"
		},
		Run: func(cmd *Command, args []string) {
			fmt.Println(globalVar)
		},
	}
	root.ExecuteContext(context.Background())
}

To avoid using global variables, and to allow for cleaner implementation we can use SetContext instead:

func TestFoo(t *testing.T){
	root := &Command{
		Use: "root",
		PreRun: func(cmd *Command, args []string) {
			ctx := context.WithValue(cmd.Context(), key{}, val)
			cmd.SetContext(ctx)
		},
		Run: func(cmd *Command, args []string) {
			fmt.Println(cmd.Context().Value(key{}))
		},
	}
        ctx := context.WithValue(cmd.Context(), "key", "default")
	root.ExecuteContext(ctx)
}

This greatly simplifies the readability and maintainability of code because everything is stored within the context.Context and no reference to external global variables is made.

I have already simulated this by using a mutable pointer that can be found here: https://github.com/joshcarp/grpctl/blob/main/context.go

I use it to set Authorisation headers which would be a nightmare if I needed to make implementations refer to global variables in my package.

This PR contains the following updates:

| Package | Type | Update | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| [github.com/spf13/cobra](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra) | require | minor | `v1.4.0` -> `v1.5.0` |

[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/compare/v1.4.0...v1.5.0)

#### 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 [@&#8203;marckhouzam](https://togithub.com/marckhouzam) for a big value add: Active Help [https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1482](https://togithub.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 [@&#8203;johnSchnake](https://togithub.com/johnSchnake) for this! [https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1654](https://togithub.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:

```go
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](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/user_guide.md) for further info!

Context setting without execution is important because it means
that more design patterns can be achieved.

Currently I am using functional options in a project and I can add

```

I've got a lot more options and this pattern allows me to have nice
abstracted pieces of logic that interact with the cobra command.

This Pattern also allows for adding extra information to a call
through `PreRun` functions:

```go

cmd := &cobra.Command{

		PersistentPreRun: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {

Sorry, this isn't related to this PR directly, so I worry it's an undesirable comment, but hopefully you don't mind too much..!

I really wanted to say that the way y'all manage milestones in this repository (I can see above: "@marckhouzam added this to the 1.5.0 milestone") is tremendously helpful and appreciated. I'm so used to digging into tags and digging around for a commit hash, figuring out what version I needed for this feature was so refreshing.

Little things like that make it so much easier to consume a project, and I imagine sometimes must feel like toil or busywork, so wanted to just say it's really helpful 😄 thank you all!

edit: Also, of course, I'm here because this contribution helped me - thanks @joshcarp! 😄

[Compare

##### 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 `init`s to be
executed. Now, the check for groups has been moved to `ExecuteC` and
provides more flexibility when working with grouped commands -
[@&#8203;marckhouzam](https://togithub.com/marckhouzam) (and shout out
to [@&#8203;aawsome](https://togithub.com/aawsome),
[@&#8203;andig](https://togithub.com/andig) and
[@&#8203;KINGSABRI](https://togithub.com/KINGSABRI) for a deep

##### 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:

#### 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 [@&#8203;marckhouzam](https://togithub.com/marckhouzam) for
a big value add: Active Help
[https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1482](https://togithub.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
[@&#8203;johnSchnake](https://togithub.com/johnSchnake) for this!
[https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1654](https://togithub.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:

```go
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](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/user_guide.md)
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`](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra-cli/releases/tag/v1.3.0).

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
[#&#8203;1161](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1161)
- Fixed unbound variables in bash completions causing edge case errors
[#&#8203;1321](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1321)
- `help` completion formatting improvements & fixes
[#&#8203;1444](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1444)
- All completions now follow the `help` example: short desc are now
capitalized and removes extra spacing from long description
[#&#8203;1455](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1455)
- Typo fixes in bash & zsh completions
[#&#8203;1459](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1459)
- Fixed mixed tab/spaces indentation in completion scripts. Now just 4
spaces [#&#8203;1473](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/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. [#&#8203;1509](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1509)
- Fix for invalid shell completions when using `~/.cobra.yaml`. Log
message `Using config file: ~/.cobra.yaml` now printed to stderr
[#&#8203;1510](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1510)
- Removes unnecessary trailing spaces from completion command
descriptions
[#&#8203;1520](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1520)
- Option to hide default `completion` command
[#&#8203;1541](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1541)
- Remove `__complete` command for programs without subcommands
[#&#8203;1563](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1563)

#### Generator changes ⚙️

Thanks to [@&#8203;spf13](https://togithub.com/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
[#&#8203;1159](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1159)
- `MatchAll` allows combining several PositionalArgs to work in concert.
This now allows for enabling composing `PositionalArgs`
[#&#8203;896](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/896)

#### Bug Fixes 🐛

- Fixed multiple error message from cobra `init` boilerplates
[#&#8203;1463](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1463)
[#&#8203;1552](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1552)
[#&#8203;1557](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1557)

- Now using official `golangci-lint` github action
[#&#8203;1477](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1477)

#### Security 🔏

- Added GitHub dependabot
[#&#8203;1427](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1427)
-   Now using Viper `v1.10.0`
- There is a known CVE in an *indirect* dependency from `viper`:
[https://github.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1538](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1538).
This will be patched in a future release

#### Documentation 📝

- Multiple projects added to the `projects_using_cobra.md` file:
[#&#8203;1377](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1377)
[#&#8203;1501](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1501)

[#&#8203;880](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/880)
- Fixed spelling errors
[#&#8203;1514](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/issues/1514)

after v1.2.0 where parallel use of the

correctly and flag completions now work again

### [`v1.2.0`](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/releases/tag/v1.2.0): -
The completions release

[Compare
Source](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/compare/v1.1.3...v1.2.0)

### 🌠 v1.2.0 - The completions release

Welcome to v1.2.0 of Cobra! This release focuses on code completions,
several critical bug fixes, some documentation updates, and security
bumps. Upgrading should be simple but please take note of the
introduction of bash completions V2 and their default use. The v1
completions library is still available, but will be *deprecated* in the
future. Please open an issue with any problems!

***

#### New Features

- Automatically adds a `completion` command for shell completions. If a
`completion` command is already provided, uses that instead. This will
*automatically* provide shell completions for bash, zsh, fish, and
PowerShell
[https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1192](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1192)
    -   Users can configure the command auto creation:
        -   disable the creation of the completion command
        -   disable completion descriptions
- disable the `--no-descriptions` flag for "always on" completion
descriptions
- Introduction of bash completions V2, a uniform completion approach
which include completion descriptions. The V1 bash completions are still
available *but will be deprecated* in a later release -
[https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1146](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1146)
- Note that projects providing completion through a different command
name (say a command named "complete") will continue to use v1 for their
own command but will also provide cobra's implicit "completion" command
which will use v2, unless of course, these projects take the time to
disable the default "completion" command as noted above.
- Commands now support context being passed to completions -
[https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1265](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1265)
- An example can be found here:
[https://github.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1265#issuecomment-734551031](https://togithub.com/spf13/cobra/pull/1265#issuecomment-734551031)
- Removed dependency on`mitchellh/go-homedir` in favor of core Go
`os.UserHomeDir()` -
