How does dashdash work in 2.x?

[RedX2501]

i want to have a command line as:

exe -g -- filename1 filename2

So I tried

 exe -g -- filename1

class Opts a
  [Option('g')]
  bool Generate {get; set;}
  [Value(0)]
  string Filename {get; set;}
}

var p = new Parser(settings => settings.EnableDashDash = true);
p.ParseArguments<Opts>(args);

I get the error:

ERROR(S):
Error setting value to option 'unknownarguments': Property set method not
found.

So what's the correct way of doing this in 2.x?

To use double dash, you define options with longName, like

       [Option('g',"generate")]
         bool Generate {get; set;}

Then, to use

         exe    --generate  filename

No space between -- and the option

Filename is a free option without singlee /or double dash.

Is DashDash not an option to enable the end of options delimiter? Or does command line always do that?

[Option('g')]
bool someFlag

[Value(0)]
string filename

Usage

exe -g -- -g

then -g is on and filename will also contain -g preventing it from being recognized as the option -g.

DashDash enable the end of options delimiter in the custom Parser as you did.
I wasn't thinking that you mean using DashDash as an end of option :D

See this answer by @nemec with example

I test your example with minor modification, and it's working with DashDash support

These are working

            -g -- -g 
	-g -- filename1
	-g -- -filename1

Try it online

I thought it was broke due to #156

I tried

exe -g -- expected unexpected

and got no error.

Since dashdash is working I can close this.
