--args parsing does not support flags

[jrnt30]

Currently with the implementation of the args parsing fails to pass args that are the short version of the flag due to the -- check. For instance helmfile template --args "-x templates/ingress.yaml" will not pass down the -x arg.

Not the end of the world but was unexpected.

This hole logic is unclear why it needed.
also use case where multiple templates should be rendered don't work:

-e staging template --args --set frank=true  --execute templates/clusterrole.yaml  --execute templates/clusterrolebinding.yaml  --execute templates/role.yaml  --execute templates/rolebinding.yaml  --execute templates/scoped-clusterrole.yaml  --execute templates/scoped-clusterrolebinding.yaml --set rbac.create=true

result in:

--set frank=true --set rbac.create=true --execute templates/clusterrole.yaml

why is args not saved as string and simple appended?

[mumoshu]

@frank-berlin (If I remember correctly) The whole logic was there to allow merging --args from the command-line and args from your helmfile.yaml. In that sense, it would be good to just concatenating both args as simple strings.

Does simple string concatenation works as we would expect? Like the latter flag values(from command-line) overrides the values from the ones passed via --arsg?

[frank-berlin]

Yes would work I think.
That helm see this as additional parameter in same order as supplied.
Then also quoting will work, what it not right now.
