ThorNestedSubcommand

ThorNestedSubcommand is a Ruby gem that provides a workaround for the Thor gem bug that displays nested subcommand help incorrectly. Simply include the ThorNestedSubcommand module in your Thor nested subcommand, and provide a simple class method to return what Thor help shoul be displaying, and that's it.

Usage

First, follow instructions for installation.

Secondly, do the following in your Thor subcommand:

  • include the ThorNestedSubcommand.
  • Add a .base_name class method and return the base name for the nested subcommand you need Thor help to display.

For example:

require 'thor'
require 'thor_nested_subcommand'

class Command < ::Thor
  desc 'sub_command SUBCOMMAND', 'sub command'
  subcommand :sub_command, SubCommand
end

class SubCommand < ::Thor
    desc 'nested_sub_command SUBCOMMAND', 'nested sub command'
    subcommand :nested_sub_command, NestedSubCommand
end

# Thor help breaks because this is a nested subcommand.
class NestedSubCommand < ::Thor
  # Include this:
  include ThorNestedSubcommand

  class << self
    # Add this:
    def base_usage
      # Return what Thor shoud be displaying for your nested subcommand:
      'sub_command nested_sub_command'
    end
  end

  desc 'test', 'test the command'
  def test
    puts 'test'
  end
end

That's it. Disaster averted:

$ command sub_command help nested_sub_command
> Commands:
>  command sub_command nested_sub_command help [COMMAND]   # Describe subcommands or one specific subcommand
>  command sub_command nested_sub_command test             # test sub sub command
