Forge - Shell in CLI interactive mode, show * for required option and ? for optional ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: FORGE-2296 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2296 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Components: UI - Shell Affects Versions: 2.15.2.Final Reporter: Claus Ibsen Assignee: George Gastaldi Fix For: 2.15.3.Final When using forge commands in interactive mode, the CLI shows options line by line. Its a bit confusing which are mandatory ,and which are optional. Today it shows ? for all options, eg {code} Press <ENTER> to confirm, or <CTRL>+C to cancel. ? componentName (Name of component type to add): [0-179] 165 ? file (The XML file to use (either Spring or Blueprint)) [META-INF/spring/foo.xml]: ? timerName (The name of the timer): ***ERROR*** timerName must be specified. {code} Notice that both file and timerName has a starting ? on the CLI. But both options is required. So its IMHO better to show a * instead to indicate required. Here is an example where I am a bit further down in the CLI for the same command {code} Press <ENTER> to confirm, or <CTRL>+C to cancel. ? componentName (Name of component type to add): [0-179] 165 ? file (The XML file to use (either Spring or Blueprint)) [META-INF/spring/foo.xml]: ? timerName (The name of the timer): foo ? time (A java.util.Date the first event should be generated. If using the URI the pattern expected is: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss or yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.): ? period (If greater than 0 generate periodic events every period milliseconds. The default value is 1000.) [1000]: 2000 ? delay (The number of milliseconds to wait before the first event is generated. Should not be used in conjunction with the time option. The default value is 1000.) [1000]: {code} The time, period, and delay option is optional. But some of them have a default value which is shown nicely. But again this ticket is about changing the ? to a * for the required options.
