Natural CLI

Hello,

In order to use all the power of Natural CLI, I've tried to use the following command syntax :

command [a] [b] [c]

which express exactly my needs (the user can choose any combinations of these optionals parameters).

Unfortunately it did not work.

I had a good parseResult with the command "command c" ; but I got a "No command matches" with "command a".
It worked also with "command a b c".
"command" wasn't interpreted as a command neither.

I don't think I made a mistake on my side (I put only letters inside brackets), however I would appreciate if you could tell me that it works on your side or if this syntax isn't supposed to be used.

Thanks.

I said "any combinations of these optionals parameters" but I should have say "any combinations of these optionals tokens"

Hi Ca

I'm going to see what is happening. I hope I give you an answer shortly.

Hi again Cal,

It seems that there are a bug when optional parameter is the last token and it is not present.

In your example will work any combination but if "c" is not present. It means:

command a b c => works
command b c => works
command a c => works
command c => works
command a b => hits the bug and fails
command b => hits the bug and fails
command a => hits the bug and fails
command a => hits the bug and fails

As an **ugly** workaround, you can add a "fake" last token, for instance:

command [a] [b] [c] fake

Of course, I'm going to check the code to solve this issue.

Thanks a lot for reporting!
