Changelog
=========
.. v0.X.X (in development)
=======================
New features and enhancements
-----------------------------
Bug fixes
---------
Breaking changes
----------------
Deprecated
----------
Newer releases
==============
Release notes are now only on GitHub: https://github.com/janluke/cloup/releases.
v1.0.2 (2022-11-04)
=======================
- Skip constraints checking when passing ``--help`` to a subcommand. :issue:`129`
v1.0.1 (2022-09-22)
=======================
- Show a helpful error message when some tries to use command decorators without
parenthesis. :pr:`128`
v1.0.0 (2022-07-17)
===================
- Drop support for Python 3.6. Python 3.6 ha reached end-of-life in Dec 2021 and
it's not officially supported by Click 8. From https://pypistats.org/packages/cloup,
I can see that about 37% of people are still using Python 3.6. If you can't
upgrade, you should still be able to use Cloup by installing the ``dataclasses``
backport package and using a compatible version of Click.
- Drop support for Click 7.
- Run tests on Python 3.10.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.15.1 (2022-06-26)
====================
Bug fixes
---------
- Fix type of ``type`` argument of ``@option`` and ``@argument``. Specifically,
tuple types weren't correctly described.
- Reimplement ``@argument`` and ``@option`` without calling the corresponding
Click methods (:pr:`124`):
- make decorators returned by ``@argument`` reusable by not relying on bugged
Click implementation
- remove unnecessary copy of ``**attrs`` in ``@option``.
v0.15.0 (2022-06-16)
====================
New features and enhancements
-----------------------------
- Renamed ``Argument.help_record`` to ``Argument.get_help_record``. :pr:`116`
- Fixed typos and some type annotations. :pr:`116`
- In mixins, moved call to ``super()`` at the beginning of ``__init__``. :pr:`119`.
- Made Cloup pass ``mypy --strict``. :pr:`122`
Bug fixes
---------
- The title of the default option group was "Other options" when the only other
parameter help section was "Positional arguments". It's now "Options". :pr:`120`
Breaking changes
----------------
- Renamed ``Argument.help_record`` to ``Argument.get_help_record``.
- In mixins, moved call to ``super()`` at the beginning of ``__init__``. :pr:`119`.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.14.0 (2022-05-09)
====================
New features and enhancements
-----------------------------
- You can show a "Positional arguments" help section by passing a non-empty
``help`` description for at least one of the arguments of a command/group.
:pr:`113`
- ``cloup.Group`` now extends ``cloup.Command`` and, as a consequence, supports
option groups and constraints. :pr:`113`
- ``GroupedOption`` is now an alias of ``cloup.Option``.
- Add the new ``params`` Click argument to ``@command`` and ``@group``
signatures. This argument is supported only for click >= 8.1.0. See
https://github.com/pallets/click/pull/2203.
Breaking changes
----------------
- ``BaseCommand`` was removed. This shouldn't cause any issue to anybody.
- ``cloup.Group`` extends ``cloup.Command``, similarly as ``click.Group``
extends ``click.Command``.
- ``OptionGroupMixin.format_options`` was renamed to ``format_params``. This
means you can't just mix it with ``click.Command`` to print help sections for
option groups, you have to override ``format_help`` and call ``format_params``.
- The new ``format_params`` doesn't call ``super().format_commands`` as
``format_options`` did: that's what Click does and Cloup (reluctantly) did.
Now, instead, ``cloup.Command`` calls ``format_params`` in ``format_help`` and
then, for multi-commands, calls ``format_commands`` directly.
- ``ConstraintMixin.format_help`` was removed. This means you can't just mix it
with a click.Command to make it print the "Constraints" help section, you need
to call ``format_constraints`` explicitly in your command ``format_help``.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.13.1 (2022-05-08)
====================
- Since version 8.1.0, Click does not normalize the command attributes ``help``,
``short_help`` and ``epilog`` while Cloup assumed them to be normalized as
in previous releases. This lead to Cloup printing non-normalized help and
epilog text when using click >= 8.1.0.
v0.13.0 (2022-02-14)
====================
- Add shortcuts for ``click.Path`` types which uses ``pathlib.Path``
as ``path_type`` by default:
- ``cloup.path``
- ``cloup.dir_path`` (``file_okay=False``)
- ``cloup.file_path`` (``dir_okay=False``)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.12.1 (2021-10-14)
====================
- Fix: when ``OptionGroupMixin`` is mixed with ``Group``, subcommands weren't shown.
v0.12.0 (2021-09-17)
====================
- Feature: when a subcommand is mistyped, show "did you mean <subcommand>?".
- Doc fixes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.11.0 (2021-08-05)
====================
No major changes in this release, just refinements.
- Attributes of parametric constraints are now public. :pr:`82`
- Slightly changed the ``repr()`` of ``RequireExactly(3)``:
from ``RequireExactly(n=3)`` to ``RequireExactly(3)``.
- Minor code refactoring.
- Docs fixes and improvements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.10.0 (2021-07-14)
====================
New features and enhancements
-----------------------------
- New feature: subcommand aliases. :issue:`64` :pr:`75`
- Command decorators: improvements to type hints and other changes (:pr:`67`):
- mypy can now infer the exact type of the instantiated command based on the
``cls`` argument. --- Unfortunately, this required the use of ``@overload`` to
work around a mypy limitation
- in ``@group``, allow ``cls`` to be any ``click.Group`` --- previously it had to
be a subclass of ``cloup.Group``
- in ``Group.command`` and ``Group.group`` add type hints and make all arguments
except ``name`` keyword-only. Technically this is a (minor) incompatibility
with the ``click.Group`` superclass, but it's coherent with Cloup's
``@command`` and ``@group``
- add Cloup-specific arguments to the signature of ``@command``; if the developer
uses one of such arguments with a ``cls`` that doesn't support them, Cloup
augments the resulting ``TypeError`` with extra information.
- Export Click types from Cloup namespace for convenience. :issue:`72`
- In dark and light themes, the epilog is now left unstyled by default. :issue:`62`
Bug fixes
---------
- ``SectionMixin.add_section`` called ``super().add_command`` rather than
``self.add_command``. This caused ``add_command`` in subclasses not to be
called. :issue:`69`
- Fix ``Context.check_constraints_consistency`` not being propagated to descendant
contexts. :issue:`74`
Breaking changes
----------------
- In ``Group.command`` and ``Group.group`` all arguments except ``name`` are now
keyword-only.
- The ``name`` parameter/attribute of ``OptionGroup`` was renamed to ``title``.
- In ``SectionMixin`` (thus, in ``Group``), added a ``ctx: Context`` attribute
to make_commands_help_section and format_subcommand_name to support the
``show_subcommand_aliases`` setting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.9.1 (2021-07-03)
===================
- Fixed bug: shell completion breaking because of Cloup checking constraints
despite ``ctx.resilient_parsing=True``
- Added public attributes to ``ConstraintMixin``: ``optgroup_constraints``,
``param_constraints`` and ``all_constraints``.
- Cleaned up code and added other type hints (to internal code).
- Docs fixes and improvements. Fixed dark theme styling.
v0.9.0 (2021-06-30)
===================
Fixed bugs
----------
- ``Context.show_constraints`` not having effect because of wrong default for
``Command.show_constraint``. :issue:`49`
- ``Command`` (``OptionGroupMixin``) raising error if ``params`` is not provided.
:issue:`58`
New features and enhancements
-----------------------------
- Add detailed type hints for ``@argument``, ``@option``, ``@command`` and ``@group``.
This should greatly improve IDE code completion. :pr:`47`, :pr:`50`
- You can now use **constraints as decorators** (or ``@constrained_params``) to
constrain a group of "contiguous" parameters without repeating their names
(see :ref:`Constraints as decorators <constraints-as-decorators>`). This is
a breaking change (see section below). :issue:`8`
- Added the ``require_any`` and ``require_one`` constraints (as aliases). :issue:`57`
- Simplify and improve the ``error`` argument of ``Rephraser``
(see :ref:`Rephrasing constraints <rephrasing-constraints>`). :pr:`54`
- The formatter setting ``row_sep`` can now take a ``RowSepPolicy`` that decides
whether and which row separator to use for each definition list independently,
e.g. based on the number of definitions taking multiple lines
(see: :ref:`Row separators <row-separators>`). :issue:`37`
- Added method ``format_subcommand_name(name, cmd)`` to ``SectionMixin`` to
facilitate it combination with other Click extensions that override
``format_commands()``. :issue:`59`
- ``@option_group`` and ``Section`` now show a better error message when one forgets
to provide the name/title as first argument.
- Fixed/improved some type hints and added others.
Breaking changes
----------------
- Calling a constraint -- previously a shortcut to the :meth:`~Constraint.check`
method -- now returns a decorator. Use the method :meth:`Constraint.check`
to check a constraint inside a function. :issue:`8`
- The semantics of ``row_sep`` changed. Now, it defaults to ``None`` and must
not end with ``\n``, since the formatter writes a newline automatically
after it. So, ``row_sep=""`` now corresponds to an empty line between rows.
:issue:`41`
- In ``@command`` and ``@group`` make all arguments but ``name`` keyword-only.
:issue:`46`
- In ``Context.settings`` and ``HelpFormatter.settings``, use a ``MISSING``
constant instead of ``None`` as a flag for "empty" arguments. :issue:`40`
- ``Constraint.toggle_consistency_checks`` was replaced with a ``Context``
setting called ``check_constraints_consistency``. :issue:`33`
- ``ConstraintViolated`` requires more parameters now. :pr:`54`
Docs
----
- Restyling to improve readability: increased font size and vertical spacing,
decreased line width. Restyled the table of contents on the right side. Ecc.
- Reorganized and rewrote several parts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.8.1-2 (2021-05-25)
=====================
(I had to release v0.8.2 just after v0.8.1 to fix a docs issue)
- Work around a minor Click 8.0.1 `issue <https://github.com/pallets/click/issues/1925>`_
with boolean options which caused some Cloup tests to fail.
- Cosmetic: use a nicer logo and add a GitHub "header" including it.
- Slightly improved readme, docs and examples.
v0.8.0 (2021-05-19)
===================
Project changes
---------------
- Cloup license changed from MIT to 3-clause BSD, the one used by Click.
- Added a donation button.
New features and enhancements
-----------------------------
- Cloup now uses its own ``HelpFormatter``:
* it supports alignment of multiple definition lists, so Cloup doesn't have to
rely on a hack (padding) to align option groups and alike
* it adds theming of the help page, i.e. styling of several elements of the
help page
* it has an additional way to format definition lists (implemented with the
method ``write_linear_dl``) that kicks in when the available width for the
standard 2-column format is not enough (precisely, when the width available
for the 2nd column is below ``formatter.col2_min_width``)
* it adds several attributes to fine-tune and customize the generated help:
``col1_max_width``, ``col_spacing`` and ``row_sep``
* it fixes a couple of Click minor bugs and decides the column width of
definition lists in a slightly smarter way that makes a better use of the
available space.
- Added a custom ``Context`` that:
* uses ``cloup.HelpFormatter`` as formatter class by default
* adds a ``formatter_settings`` attributes that allows to set the default
formatter keyword arguments (the same argument can be given to a command to
override these defaults). You can use the static method
``HelpFormatter.settings`` to create such a dictionary
* allows to set the default value for the following ``Command``/``Group`` args:
* ``align_option_groups``,
* ``align_sections``
* ``show_constraints``
* has a ``Context.setting`` static method that facilitates the creation of a
``context_settings`` dictionary (you get the help of your IDE).
- Added a base class ``BaseCommand`` for ``Command`` and ``Group`` that:
- extends ``click.Command``
- back-ports Click 8.0 class attribute ``context_class`` and set it to ``cloup.Context``
- adds the ``formatter_settings`` argument
- Hidden option groups. An option group is hidden either if you pass
``hidden=True`` when you define it or if all its contained options are hidden.
If you set ``hidden=True``, all contained options will have their ``hidden``
attribute set to ``True`` automatically.
- Adds the conditions ``AllSet`` and ``AnySet``.
* The ``and`` of two or more ``IsSet`` conditions returns an ``AllSet`` condition.
* The ``or`` of two or more ``IsSet`` conditions returns an ``AnySet`` condition.
- Changed the error messages of ``all_or_none`` and ``accept_none``.
- The following Click decorators are now exported by Cloup: ``argument``,
``confirmation_option``, ``help_option``, ``pass_context``, ``pass_obj``,
``password_option`` and ``version_option``.
Breaking changes
----------------
These incompatible changes don't affect the most "external" API used by most
clients of this library.
- Formatting methods of ``OptionGroupMixin`` and ``SectionMixin`` now expects
the ``formatter`` to be a ``cloup.HelpFormatter``.
If you used a custom ``click.HelpFormatter``, you'll need to change your code
if you want to use this release. If you used ``click-help-colors``, keep in
mind that the new formatter has built-in styling capabilities so you don't
need ``click-help-colors`` anymore.
- ``OptionGroupMixin.format_option_group`` was removed.
- ``SectionMixin.format_section`` was removed.
- The class ``MultiCommand`` was removed, being useless.
- The ``OptionGroupMixin`` attribute ``align_option_groups`` is now ``None`` by default.
Functionally, nothing changes: option groups are aligned by default.
- The ``SectionMixin`` attribute ``align_sections`` is now ``None`` by default.
Functionally, nothing changes: subcommand sections are aligned by default.
- The ``ConstraintMixin`` attribute ``show_constraints`` is now ``None`` by default.
Functionally, nothing changes: constraints are **not** shown by default.
Docs
----
- Switch theme to ``furo``.
- Added section "Help formatting and theming".
- Improved all sections.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.7.1 (2021-05-02)
===================
- Fixed a bug with ``&`` and ``|`` ``Predicate`` operators giving ``AttributeError``
when used.
- Fixed the error message of ``accept_none`` which didn't include ``{param_list}``.
- Improved ``all_or_none`` error message.
- Minor docs fixes.
v0.7.0 (2021-03-24)
===================
New features and enhancements
-----------------------------
- In constraint errors, the way the parameter list is formatted has changed.
Instead of printing a comma-separated list of single labels:
* each parameter is printed on a 2-space indented line and
* both the short and long name of options are printed.
See the relevant `commit <https://github.com/janLuke/cloup/commit/0280323e481bcca2b941a49c9133b06685e4bbe1>`_.
- Minor improvements to code and docs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.6.1 (2021-03-01)
===================
This patch release fixes some problems in the management and releasing of
the package.
- Add a ``py.typed`` file to ship the package with type hints (PEP 561).
- Use ``setuptools-scm`` to automatically manage the version of the package
*and* the content of the source distribution based on the git repository:
* the source distribution now matches the git repository, with the only
exception of ``_version.py``, which is not tracked by git; it's generated by
``setuptools-scm`` and included in the package;
* tox.ini and Makefile were updated to account for the fact that ``_version.py``
doesn't exist in the repository before installing the package.
- The new attribute ``cloup.__version_tuple__`` stores the version as a tuple
(of *at least* 3 elements).
v0.6.0 (2021-02-28)
===================
New features and enhancements
-----------------------------
- Slightly improved return type (hint) of command decorators.
- Minor refactoring of ConstraintMixin.
- Improved the documentation.
Breaking changes
----------------
- Removed the deprecated ``GroupSection`` as previously announced.
Use the new name instead: ``Section``.
- In ``Group.group()`` and ``Group.command``, the argument ``section`` was moved
after the ``cls`` argument so that the signatures are now fully compatible with
those of the parent class (the Liskov substitution principle is now satisfied).
If you (wisely) passed ``section`` and ``cls`` as keyword arguments in your
code, you don't need to change anything.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.5.0 (2021-02-10)
===================
Requirements
