Hi, exposing these two functions is more convenient and does not conflict with other parts. I have changed it in my local workspace, it works well. |
This seems reasonable to give users more flexibility in handling flags. |

Hi, dear reviewers,
In my project, there is one complex command with a lot of flags, we need to set part of them as required, and other flags are optional, all optional flags were defined from an API server. I have implemented this feature to add dynamic flags in issue #1758.
as talked with @marckhouzam in the last issue, it looks like my method is on the right way.
In the next work, I add some flags in
init()
function and callMarkFlagRequired
to mark them as required flags. but, because I have setDisableFlagParsing
astrue
, and need to callfunc (c *Command) ParseFlags(args []string) error
to parse all flags manually, the function which validates the required flag will not be called.for now, I have to set up a map and store all required flags, then check if exist in arguments one bye one before
ParseFlags()
. It works but looks not graceful.I went through the source code of Cobra, and it looks like I need to call
validateRequiredFlags()
andvalidateFlagGroups()
manually afterParseFlags(args []string)
, and functionvalidateRequiredFlags()
was called byExecute()
, so I created this PR to expose these two functions.Thx for reviewing this PR.
B&R,
Skeet
