httpyac-cli - help inconsistent with usage

[tl3gr4nd]

Hello,

From a prompt, I am in a directory containing:

• a HTTP file with my requests (group.http)
• the httpyac configuration file (httpyac.config.js) where are declared my environments

First, it seems that it is possible to execute the request directly without using the send command via httpyac group.http even it is not specified in the help screen (httpyac --help).

Then, when I try to execute my requests via the send command specifying the environment to use, it tells me:

$ httpyac send --line 11 -e dev group.http
error: missing required argument 'fileName'

The help screen for the send command specifies that the fileName should be specified after the options.

When I tried, it seems to work

$ httpyac send group.http --line 11 -e dev

I rely completely on Commander.js for the help text of the CLI output. I actually just pass the existing options along with the help text.

First, it seems that it is possible to execute the request directly without using the send command via httpyac group.http even it is not specified in the help screen (httpyac --help).

Commander.js does not generate automatic output here. It would be possible to override this, but I don't know how other CLI tools do it. Do you have an example for me? Maybe it would make sense to create an issue in Commander.js.

The help screen for the send command specifies that the fileName should be specified after the options.

This is also generated directly by Commander.js. I think Commander.js assumes a different notation here and therefore outputs the usage this way. Use httpyac send --line=11 -e=dev group.http instead of your command without =

The cause is the use of variadic-option in the --env option. This causes the filename to be interpreted as an environment option. One solution according to Commander.js is to change the usage.
