gh run rerun --job is not working as documented #8967
Description
Describe the bug
This is what gh run rerun -h help looks like in the most recent version:
$ gh run rerun -h
Rerun an entire run, only failed jobs, or a specific job from a run.
Note that due to historical reasons, the `--job` flag may not take what you expect.
Specifically, when navigating to a job in the browser, the URL looks like this:
`https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/actions/runs/<run-id>/jobs/<number>`.
However, this `<number>` should not be used with the `--job` flag and will result in the
API returning `404 NOT FOUND`. Instead, you can get the correct job IDs using the following command:
gh run view <run-id> --json jobs --jq '.jobs[] | {name, databaseId}'
USAGE
gh run rerun [<run-id>] [flags]
FLAGS
-d, --debug Rerun with debug logging
--failed Rerun only failed jobs, including dependencies
-j, --job string Rerun a specific job from a run, including dependencies
INHERITED FLAGS
--help Show help for command
-R, --repo [HOST/]OWNER/REPO Select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format

Specifically, one of the flags is -j (or --job) to rerun a job with specific name. However:
$ gh run rerun 1234 --job anyname
specify only one of `<run-id>` or `--job`
Usage: gh run rerun [<run-id>] [flags]
Flags:
-d, --debug Rerun with debug logging
--failed Rerun only failed jobs, including dependencies
-j, --job string Rerun a specific job from a run, including dependencies
I haven't yet looked at the code but seems to me that arg parsing is wrong? Rerunning a job name without providing a run number does not make sense I believe.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Run 'gh run rerun 1234 --job anyname'
- See error during parsing of arguments
Expected vs actual behavior
I'd expect to be able to re-run a job with specific from a given run with --job switch
