GUID is not working for input parameter

[pvmraghunandan]

When trying to parse string variable that has value as GUID, parsing is failing. The version is : 1.9.71.2. Any alternative of parsing GUID?

@pvmraghunandan, can you please do a test with 2.0.*x (is quite stable and very near to be promoted to that status officially)?

PS: I'd like you post your Options target class and sample command line, so help you will be more easy.

@pvmraghunandan, yes this is a bug and will be fixed.

Temporarly I can suggest you to do the above o something similar.

• Define an option class that will accept the guid in a temporary target property:

class Options {
  [Option("transaction")]
  public string RawTransactionId { get; set; }

  public Guid TransactionId { get; set; }
}

• Supply a normal Guid:

$ yourapp --transaction=05c7845a-a31c-4801-a615-0bfa4b625bef

• After successful parsing rebuild the real value:

options.TransactionId = new Guid(options.RawTransactionId);

EDIT 2015-09-22 (2):

• Issue FIXED -> you can parse directly to System.Guid.

GUID is part of our input scripts. The problem of replacing is deployment team should aware and treat it as different which will complicate the process. I had given a try by using type as string instead of GUID. Seems like its working. I will do some test and postback

@pvmraghunandan, sorry -> ERRATE CORRIGE:

as this test demonstrates: https://github.com/gsscoder/commandline/blob/master/tests/CommandLine.Tests/Unit/Core/InstanceBuilderTests.cs#L917 there's no problem (at least with 2.0.x*) parsing a GUID or strings with in middle/end dashes (when '-' / '--' are not in the beginning of the string).

So maybe a problem in loading the parsed GUID in the targed property defined as System.Guid.

I'll edit first post, with a temporary solution, but I'll try to fix this issue.

P.S.:
Sorry but these days ordinary work is so hard, that I had few time to dedicate to OSS projects.
