Description

When the clibuilder creates a command line option whose longOpt ends with character "s", such as "seconds", the parser can't get the parameter, it is null.

Here's a simple groovy script that demonstrates the problem. Note that the long option ending with an 's' gets enabled when the non-s option is given.

$> ./cli.groovy -s
options.s evaluates to true
options.seconds evaluates to false
options.e evaluates to false
options.second evaluates to false

$> ./cli.groovy -e
options.s evaluates to false
options.seconds evaluates to true
options.e evaluates to true
options.second evaluates to true

def cli = new CliBuilder()
cli.s longOpt:'seconds', 'a long arg that ends with an "s"'
cli.e longOpt:'second', 'a long arg that does not end with an "s"'

def options = cli.parse( args )
if( null == options )
{
return
}

if( args.length == 0 || options.h )
{
cli.usage()
}

println "options.s evaluates to " + (options.s as boolean)
println "options.seconds evaluates to " + (options.seconds as boolean)
println "options.e evaluates to " + (options.e as boolean)
println "options.second evaluates to " + (options.second as boolean)
