Description

Add a Run func to vtctldclient's Root command to return an error on unknown command.

Cobra can't (and shouldn't!) be distinguish between "we didn't find a subcommand because the user made an error" and "we didn't find a subcommand because the user is trying to invoke a parent command with positional arguments", so we specify a run function (what cobra invokes when executing the command) on the root (top-level parent) and check if there are any positional arguments, which in our case we assume means the user was trying to run a subcommand that doesn't exist.

Closes #12480.

Review Checklist

Hello reviewers! 👋 Please follow this checklist when reviewing this Pull Request.

General

  • Ensure that the Pull Request has a descriptive title.
  • If this is a change that users need to know about, please apply the release notes (needs details) label so that merging is blocked unless the summary release notes document is included.
  • If a test is added or modified, there should be a documentation on top of the test to explain what the expected behavior is what the test does.

If a new flag is being introduced:

  • Is it really necessary to add this flag?
  • Flag names should be clear and intuitive (as far as possible)
  • Help text should be descriptive.
  • Flag names should use dashes (-) as word separators rather than underscores (_).

If a workflow is added or modified:

  • Each item in Jobs should be named in order to mark it as required.
  • If the workflow should be required, the maintainer team should be notified.

Bug fixes

  • There should be at least one unit or end-to-end test.
  • The Pull Request description should include a link to an issue that describes the bug.

Non-trivial changes

  • There should be some code comments as to why things are implemented the way they are.

New/Existing features

  • Should be documented, either by modifying the existing documentation or creating new documentation.
  • New features should have a link to a feature request issue or an RFC that documents the use cases, corner cases and test cases.

Backward compatibility

  • Protobuf changes should be wire-compatible.
  • Changes to _vt tables and RPCs need to be backward compatible.
  • vtctl command output order should be stable and awk-able.
  • RPC changes should be compatible with vitess-operator
  • If a flag is removed, then it should also be removed from VTop, if used there.

Can we add a test to verify that it indeed returns an error?

// From this we conclude that the user was trying to either run a

// has misspelled a legitimate command (e.g. "vtctldclient StapReplication").
// If we think this has happened, return an error, which will get
// displayed to the user in main.go along with the usage.

Not something that I'm suggesting we bring in here but we could at some point use the "did you mean X" functionality that cobra provides via the command.SuggestionsMinimumDistance = X option. Maybe you explored it and there were downsides?
