Use "kubectl\u00A0ramen" so the command name is displayed correctly: $ kubectl ramen clusterset -h Managed clustersets Usage: kubectl ramen clusterset [flags] kubectl ramen clusterset [command] Available Commands: add-cfg Add a clusterset from kubeconfigs files add-env Add a clusterset from drenv environment file remove Remove a clusterset Flags: -h, --help help for clusterset Global Flags: -v, --verbose be more verbose Use "kubectl ramen clusterset [command] --help" for more information about a command.

In this case the executable is `kubectl-plugin`, but we run it as: kubectl plugin And the help text should reflect the actual usage of the command. To create a plugin create the root command like: rootCmd := &cobra.Command{ CommandName: "kubectl plugin", } When `CommandName` is set, Name() use it as is instead of guessing the command name from the `Use` line. Issues: - Need to update the docs. Fixes: spf13#2017 Signed-off-by: Nir Soffer <[email protected]>
Interesting. Thanks for opening an issue on this. Curious: is there a tracking issue for this in the kubectl SIG or kubernetes repo somewhere? Overall, I think it makes sense. In the past, like you mentioned, we would typically recommend people use |

To create a plugin, add the cobra.CommandDisplayNameAnnotation: rootCmd := &cobra.Command{ Use: "plugin", Annotations: map[string]string{ cobra.CommandDisplayNameAnnotation: "kubectl plugin", } } Internally this change modifies CommandPath() for the root command to return the command display name instead of the command name. This is used for error messages, help text generation, and completions. CommandPath() is expected to have spaces and code using it already handle spaces (e.g replacing with _), so hopefully this does not break anything.

This was originally an experimental feature in 7.2, but as of 7.3 it is built-in. A simple "" is now sufficient for passing empty arguments, no back-tick escaping is required.

It is always the first one found in the parents chain, starting at this command. Expected behavior is to execute all parents' persistent pre-runs and post-runs. Dependent projects implemented various workarounds for this: - manually building persistent hook chains (in every hook). - applying some kind of monkey-patching on top of Cobra. This change eliminates the necessity for such workarounds by allowing to set a global variable EnableTraverseRunHooks.

Therefore even the `--help/-f/--version/-v` flags should not be automatically completed by Cobra in such a case. Without this change the `--help/-h/--version/-v` flags can end up being completed twice for plugins: one time from cobra and one time from the plugin (which has set `DisableFlagParsing = true`).

When running as a kubectl plugin[1] we want the help text to look like a builtin
kubectl command. For example if we create a program
kubectl-cobra
:When we run it we get unwanted output:
The wanted output:
The problem is we don't have a way to set the command name, it is guessed
best on the first word of the
Use
field.SetUsageFunc()
andSetUsageTemplate()
are not helpful in fixing this issue since it require re-implementing too much
logic and template which a user really don't want to re-implement.
Maybe we need
SetNameFunc()
, orName
field?Workaround
If can get the wanted output using:
It works for help output, but I did not check if this affects shell completion.
