Problem with nested commands #386
Description
This seems to also be affecting another user on SO.
The output of options.parent.args seems to be malformed, the second element in the list appears to be a circular reference to itself, where as rawArgs seems to contain the correct items. Had a look at parseOptions in the source but the code isn't very clear in terms of documented logic.
At the very least this would be worthy of a docs update, but as I'm not too sure why the problem is happening, I'm reluctant to sent a PR fix.
Thoughts?
Sample code
var program = require('commander');
program
.version(version)
.option('-v, --verbose', 'Enable verbose output')
.usage('[options] [command]')
program
.command('runserver <args>')
.description('run websockets server')
.action(function(env, options){
console.log(options.parent.rawArgs);
console.log(options.parent.args);
});
program.parse(process.argv);
Output
$ node bin/boards-server.js -v runserver 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
