Description
Describe the bug
If one module contains a def with a subcommand colliding with another module's name, the help generator gets completely confused.
How to reproduce
Setup test:
mkdir bug-demo
cd bug-demo
touch mod.nu
'export def "list" [
] {
seq char a z
}' | save letters.nu
'export def "list some" [
] {
seq 0 10
}
export def "list a-lot" [
] {
seq 0 10000
}' | save numbers.nuIf you then do:
use . *
letters --helpYou will see:
> list
Subcommands:
list a-lot -
list some -
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
Input/output types:
╭───┬───────┬────────╮
│ # │ input │ output │
├───┼───────┼────────┤
│ 0 │ any │ any │
╰───┴───────┴────────╯
Expected behavior
I expected the help message to show the qualified name of the command (numbers list, not just list), and to not show any subcommands it does not actually have (some, a-lot).
