Highlights

Arg::num_args(range)

Clap has had several ways for controlling how many values will be captured without always being clear on how they interacted, including

  • Arg::multiple_values(true)
  • Arg::number_of_values(4)
  • Arg::min_values(2)
  • Arg::max_values(20)
  • Arg::takes_value(true)

These have now all been collapsed into Arg::num_args which accepts both
single values and ranges of values. num_args controls how many raw arguments
on the command line will be captured as values per occurrence and independent
of value delimiters.

See Issue 2688 for more background.

Polishing Help

Clap strives to give a polished CLI experience out of the box with little
ceremony. With some feedback that has accumulated over time, we took this
release as an opportunity to re-evaluate our --help output to make sure it is
meeting that goal.

In doing this evaluation, we wanted to keep in mind:

  • Whether other CLIs had ideas that make sense to apply
  • Providing an experience that fits within the rest of applications and works across all shells

Before:

git
A fictional versioning CLI

USAGE:
    git <SUBCOMMAND>

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help    Print help information

SUBCOMMANDS:
    add      adds things
    clone    Clones repos
    help     Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
    push     pushes things
    stash

After:

A fictional versioning CLI

Usage: git <COMMAND>

Commands:
  clone  Clones repos
  push   pushes things
  add    adds things
  stash
  help   Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -h, --help  Print help information
  • name/version header was removed because we couldn't justify the space it occupied when
    • Usage already includes the name
    • --version is available for showing the same thing (if the program has a version set)
  • Usage was dropped to one line to save space
  • Focus is put on the subcommands
  • Headings are now Title case
  • The more general term "command" is used rather than being explicit about being "subcommands"
  • The output is more dense with the expectation that it won't affect legibility but will allow more content
  • We've moved to a more neutral palette for highlighting elements (not highlighted above)

In talking to users, we found some that liked clap's man-like experience.
When deviating from this, we are making the assumption that those are more
power users and that the majority of users wouldn't look as favorably on being
consistent with man.

See Issue 4132 for more background.

More Dynamicism

Clap's API has focused on &str for performance but this can make
dealing with owned data difficult, like #[arg(default_value_t)] generating a
String from the default value.

Additionally, to avoid ArgMatches from borrowing (and for some features we
decided to forgo), clap took the &str argument IDs and hashed them. This
prevented us from providing a usable API for iterating over existing arguments.

Now clap has switched to a string newtype that gives us the flexibility to
decide whether to use &'static str, Cow<'static, str> for fast dynamic behavior, or
Box<str> for dynamic behavior with small binary size.

As an extension of that work, you can now call ArgMatches::ids to iterate
over the arguments and groups that were found when parsing. The newtype Id
was used to prevent some classes of bugs and to make it easier to understand
when opaque Ids are used vs user-visible strings.

Clearing Out Deprecations

Instead of doing all development on clap 4.0.0, we implemented a lot of new features during clap 3's development, deprecating the old API while introducing the new API, including:

  • Replacing the implicit behavior for args when parsing them with ArgAction
  • Replacing various one-off forms of value validation with the ValueParser API
    • Allowing derives to automatically do the right thing for PathBuf (allowing invalid UTF-8)
  • Replacing AppSettings and ArgSettings enums with getters/setters
  • Clarifying terms and making them more consistent
Migrating

Steps:

  1. Upgrade to v3 if you haven't already
  2. Add CLI tests (including example below), -h and --help output at a minimum (recommendation: trycmd for snapshot testing)
  3. If using Builder API: Explicitly set the arg.action(ArgAction::...) on each argument (StoreValue for options and IncOccurrences for flags)
  4. Run cargo check --features clap/deprecated and resolve all deprecation warnings
  5. Upgrade to v4
  6. Update feature flags
  • If default-features = false, run cargo add clap -F help,usage,error-context
  • Run cargo add clap -F wrap_help unless you want to hard code line wraps
  1. Resolve compiler errors
  2. Resolve behavior changes (see "subtle changes" under BREAKING CHANGES)
  3. At your leisure: resolve new deprecation notices

Example test (derive):

#[derive(clap::Parser)]
struct Cli {
    ...
}

#[test]
fn verify_cli() {
    use clap::CommandFactory;
    Cli::command().debug_assert()
}

Example test (builder):

fn cli() -> clap::Command {
    ...
}

#[test]
fn verify_cli() {
    cli().debug_assert();
}

Note: the idiomatic / recommended way of specifying different types of args in the Builder API has changed:

Before

.arg(Arg::new("flag").long("flag"))  # --flag
.arg(Arg::new("option").long("option").takes_value(true))  # --option <option>

After:

.arg(Arg::new("flag").long("flag").action(ArgAction::SetTrue))  # --flag
.arg(Arg::new("option").long("option"))  # --option <option>

In particular, num_args (the replacement for takes_value) will default appropriately
from the ArgAction and generally only needs to be set explicitly for the
other num_args use cases.

Breaking Changes

Subtle changes (i.e. compiler won't catch):

  • arg! now sets one of (#​3795):
    • ArgAction::SetTrue, requiring ArgMatches::get_flag instead of ArgMatches::is_present
    • ArgAction::Count, requiring ArgMatches::get_count instead of ArgMatches::occurrences_of
    • ArgAction::Set, requiring ArgMatches::get_one instead of ArgMatches::value_of
    • ArgAction::Append, requiring ArgMatches::get_many instead of ArgMatches::values_of
  • ArgAction::Set, ArgAction::SetTrue, and Arg::Action::SetFalse now
    conflict by default to be like ArgAction::StoreValue and
    ArgAction::IncOccurrences, requiring cmd.args_override_self(true) to override instead (#​4261)
  • By default, an Args default action is ArgAction::Set, rather than ArgAction::IncOccurrence to reduce confusing magic through consistency (#​2687, #​4032, see also #​3977)
  • mut_arg can no longer be used to customize help and version arguments, instead disable them (Command::disable_help_flag, Command::disable_version_flag) and provide your own (#​4056)
  • Removed lifetimes from Command, Arg, ArgGroup, and PossibleValue, assuming 'static. string feature flag will enable support for Strings (#​1041, #​2150, #​4223)
  • arg!(--flag <value>) is now optional, instead of required. Add .required(true) at the end to restore the original behavior (#​4206)
  • Added default feature flags, help, usage and error-context, requiring adding them back in if default-features = false (#​4236)
  • (parser) Always fill in "" argument for external subcommands to make it easier to distinguish them from built-in commands (#​3263)
  • (parser) Short flags now have higher precedence than hyphen values with Arg::allow_hyphen_values, to be consistent with Command::allow_hyphen_values (#​4187)
  • (parser) Arg::value_terminator must be its own argument on the CLI rather than being in a delimited list (#​4025)
  • (help) Line wrapping of help is now behind the existing wrap_help feature flag, either enable it or hard code your wraps (#​4258)
  • (help) Make DeriveDisplayOrder the default and removed the setting. To sort help, set next_display_order(None) (#​2808)
  • (help) Subcommand display order respects Command::next_display_order instead of DeriveDisplayOrder and using its own initial display order value (#​2808)
  • (help) Subcommands are now listed before arguments. To get the old behavior, see Command::help_template (#​4132)
  • (help) Help headings are now title cased, making any user-provided help headings inconsistent. To get the old behavior, see Command::help_template, Arg::help_heading, and Command::subcommand_help_heading (#​4132)
  • (help) "Command" is used as the section heading for subcommands and COMMAND for the value name. To get the old behavior, see Command::subcommand_help_heading and Arg::subcommand_value_name (#​4132, #​4155)
  • (help) Whitespace in help output is now trimmed to ensure consistency regardless of how well a template matches the users needs. (#​4132, #​4156)
  • (help) name/version/author are removed by default from help output. To get the old behavior, see Command::help_template. (#​4132, #​4160)
  • (help) Indentation for second-line usage changed. (#​4132, #​4188)
  • (env) Parse --help and --version like any ArgAction::SetTrue flag (#​3776)
  • (derive) Leave Arg::id as verbatim casing, requiring updating of string references to other args like in conflicts_with or requires (#​3282)
  • (derive) Doc comments for ValueEnum variants will now show up in --help (#​3312)
  • (derive) When deriving Args, and ArgGroup is created using the type's name, reserving it for future use (#​2621, #​4209)
  • (derive) next_help_heading can now leak out of a #[clap(flatten)], like all other command settings (#​4222)

Easier to catch changes:

  • Looking up a group in ArgMatches now returns the arg Ids, rather than the values to reduce overhead and offer more flexibility. (#​4072)
  • Changed Arg::number_of_values (average-across-occurrences) to Arg::num_args (per-occurrence) (raw CLI args, not parsed values) (#​2688, #​4023)
    • num_args(0) no longer implies takes_value(true).multiple_values(true) (#​4023)
    • num_args(1) no longer implies multiple_values(true) (#​4023)
    • Does not check default or env values, only what the user explicitly passes in (#​4025)
    • No longer terminates on delimited values (#​4025)
  • Replace Arg::min_values (across all occurrences) with Arg::num_args(N..) (per occurrence) to reduce confusion over different value count APIs (#​4023)
  • Replace Arg::max_values (across all occurrences) with Arg::num_args(1..=M) (per occurrence) to reduce confusion over different value count APIs (#​4023)
  • Replace Arg::multiple_values(true) with Arg::num_args(1..) and Arg::multiple_values(false) with Arg::num_args(0) to reduce confusion over different value count APIs (#​4023)
  • Replace Arg::takes_value(true) with Arg::num_args(1) and Arg::takes_value(false) with Arg::num_args(0) to reduce confusion over different value count APIs
  • Remove Arg::require_value_delimiter, either users could use Arg::value_delimiter or implement a custom parser with TypedValueParser as it was mostly to make multiple_values(true) act like multiple_values(false) and isn't needed anymore (#​4026)
  • Arg::new("help") and Arg::new("version") no longer implicitly disable the
    built-in flags and be copied to all subcommands, instead disable
    the built-in flags (Command::disable_help_flag,
    Command::disable_version_flag) and mark the custom flags as global(true). (#​4056)
  • Arg::short('h') no longer implicitly disables the short flag for help,
    instead disable
    the built-in flags (Command::disable_help_flag,
    Command::disable_version_flag) provide your own Arg::new("help").long("help").action(ArgAction::Help).global(true). (#​4056)
  • ArgAction::SetTrue and ArgAction::SetFalse now prioritize Arg::default_missing_value over their standard behavior (#​4000)
  • Changed Arg::requires_ifs and Arg::default_value*_ifs* to taking an ArgPredicate, removing ambiguity with None when accepting owned and borrowed types (#​4084)
  • Removed PartialEq and Eq from Command so we could change external subcommands to use a ValueParser (#​3990)
  • Various Arg, Command, and ArgGroup calls were switched from accepting &[] to [] via IntoIterator to be more flexible (#​4072)
  • Arg::short_aliases and other builder functions that took &[] need the & dropped (#​4081)
  • ErrorKind and Result moved into the error module
  • ErrorKind::EmptyValue replaced with ErrorKind::InvalidValue to remove an unnecessary special case (#​3676, #​3968)
  • ErrorKind::UnrecognizedSubcommand replaced with ErrorKind::InvalidSubcommand to remove an unnecessary special case (#​3676)
  • Changed the default type of allow_external_subcommands from String to OsString as that is less likely to cause bugs in user applications (#​3990)
  • (help) Command::render_usage now returns a StyledStr (#​4248)
  • (derive) Changed the default for arguments from parse to value_parser, removing parse support (#​3827, #​3981)
    • #[clap(value_parser)] and #[clap(action)] are now redundant

  • (parser) Assert when the CLI looksup an unknown args when external subcommand support is enabled to help catch bugs (#​3703)

  • (assert) Leading dashes in Arg::long are no longer allowed (#​3691)
  • (assert) Disallow more value_names than num_args (#​2695)
  • (assert) Always enforce that version is specified when the ArgAction::Version is used

  • (assert) Ensure no self-overrides_with now that Actions replace it
  • (assert) Ensure subcommand names are not duplicated
  • (assert) Assert on mut_arg receiving an invalid arg ID or mut_subcommand receiving an invalid command name
Compatibility

MSRV is now 1.60.0

Deprecated

  • Arg::use_value_delimiter in favor of Arg::value_delimiter to avoid having multiple ways of doing the same thing

  • Command::allow_negative_numbers in favor of Arg::allow_negative_numbers to make it clearer which arg it is meant to apply to (#​4187)
  • (help) Deprecated Command::write_help and Command::write_long_help in favor of Command::render_help and Command::render_long_help (#​4248)
  • (derive) structopt and clap attributes in favor of the more specific command, arg, and value to open the door for more features and clarify relationship to the builder (#​1807, #​4180)
  • (derive) #[clap(value_parser)] and #[clap(action)] defaulted attributes (its the default) (#​3976)
