Parameters

Array

options<Hash>

:for is applied for previous defined command.

Examples

at_least_one do

  option :two
end

Or

option :one
option :two

If you do not give “–one” and “–two” AtLeastOneRequiredArgumentError will be raised.

You can use at_least_one and exclusive at the same time.

exclusive do
  at_least_one do
    option :one
    option :two
  end
end

Then it is required either only one of “–one” or “–two”.

end
Also aliased as: at_least_one
method_exclusive(*args, &block) click to toggle source

Adds and declares option group for exclusive options in the block and arguments. You can declare options as the outside of the block.

If :for is given as option, it allows you to change the options from a previous defined command.

Parameters

Array

options<Hash>

:for is applied for previous defined command.

Examples

exclusive do
  option :one
  option :two
end

Or

option :one
option :two
exclusive :one, :two

If you give “–one” and “–two” at the same time ExclusiveArgumentsError will be raised.

end
Also aliased as: exclusive

def next_command
  # magic
end

register(klass, subcommand_name, usage, description, options = {}) click to toggle source

Registers another Bundler::Thor subclass as a command.

Parameters

klass<Class>

Bundler::Thor subclass to register

command<String>

Subcommand name to use

usage<String>

Short usage for the subcommand

description<String>

Description for the subcommand

# File bundler/vendor/thor/lib/thor.rb, line 37
def register(klass, subcommand_name, usage, description, options = {})
  if klass <= Bundler::Thor::Group
    desc usage, description, options
    define_method(subcommand_name) { |*args| invoke(klass, args) }
  else
    desc usage, description, options
    subcommand subcommand_name, klass
  end
end
stop_on_unknown_option!(*command_names) click to toggle source

Stop parsing of options as soon as an unknown option or a regular argument is encountered. All remaining arguments are passed to the command. This is useful if you have a command that can receive arbitrary additional options, and where those additional options should not be handled by Bundler::Thor.

Example

To better understand how this is useful, let’s consider a command that calls an external command. A user may want to pass arbitrary options and arguments to that command. The command itself also accepts some options, which should be handled by Bundler::Thor.

class_option "verbose",  :type => :boolean
stop_on_unknown_option! :exec
check_unknown_options!  :except => :exec

desc "exec", "Run a shell command"
def exec(*args)
  puts "diagnostic output" if options[:verbose]
  Kernel.exec(*args)
end

Here exec can be called with --verbose to get diagnostic output, e.g.:

$ thor exec --verbose echo foo
diagnostic output
foo

But if --verbose is given after echo, it is passed to echo instead:

$ thor exec echo --verbose foo
--verbose foo

Parameters

Symbol …

A list of commands that should be affected.

Protected Class Methods

banner(command, namespace = nil, subcommand = false) click to toggle source

The banner for this class. You can customize it if you are invoking the thor class by another ways which is not the Bundler::Thor::Runner. It receives the command that is going to be invoked and a boolean which indicates if the namespace should be displayed as arguments.

find_command_possibilities(meth) click to toggle source

this is the logic that takes the command name passed in by the user and determines whether it is an unambiguous substrings of a command or alias name.

def find_command_possibilities(meth)
  len = meth.to_s.length
  possibilities = all_commands.merge(map).keys.select { |n| meth == n[0, len] }.sort

  if possibilities.include?(meth)
    [meth]

end
Also aliased as: find_task_possibilities
find_task_possibilities(meth)
sort_commands!(list) click to toggle source

Sort the commands, lexicographically by default.

Can be overridden in the subclass to change the display order of the commands.
