rbtools.commands.base.options¶

Command line option management for commands.

Classes

class rbtools.commands.base.options.Option(*opts: str, **attrs)[source]¶

Bases: object

Represents an option for a command.

The arguments to the constructor should be treated like those to argparse’s add_argument, with the exception that the keyword argument ‘config_key’ is also valid. If config_key is provided it will be used to retrieve the config value as a default if the option is not specified. This will take precedence over the default argument.

Serves as a wrapper around the ArgumentParser options, allowing us to specify defaults which will be grabbed from the configuration after it is loaded.

New in version 5.0: This is the new location for the old rbtools.commands.Option class.

__init__(*opts: str, **attrs) → None[source]¶

Initialize the option.

Parameters:

• *opts (tuple of str) – The long and short form option names.

• **attrs (dict) – The attributes for the option.

opts: Tuple[str, ...]¶

The long and short form option names.

Type:

tuple

attrs: Dict[str, Any]¶

The attributes for the option.

Type:

dict

add_to(parent: argparse._ActionsContainer, config: Optional[RBToolsConfig] = None, argv: List[str] = []) → None[source]¶

Adds the option to the parent parser or group.

If the option maps to a configuration key, this will handle figuring out the correct default.

Once we’ve determined the right set of flags, the option will be added to the parser.

Parameters:

• parent (argparse._ActionsContainer) – The parent argument parser or group.

• config (dict) – The loaded RBTools configuration.

• argv (list, deprecated) – Unused list of deprecated command line arguments.

class rbtools.commands.base.options.OptionGroup(name: Optional[str] = None, description: Optional[str] = None, option_list: List[Option] = [])[source]¶

Bases: object

Represents a named group of options.

Each group has a name, an optional description, and a list of options. It serves as a way to organize related options, making it easier for users to scan for the options they want.

This works like argparse’s argument groups, but is designed to work with our special Option class.

New in version 5.0: This is the new location for the old rbtools.commands.OptionGroup class.

__init__(name: Optional[str] = None, description: Optional[str] = None, option_list: List[Option] = []) → None[source]¶

Initialize the option group.

Parameters:

• name (str, optional) – The name of the option group.

• description (str, optional) – The description of this option group.

• option_list (list of Option, optional) – The list of options in this group.

name: Optional[str]¶

The name of this option group.

This may be None.

Type:

str

description: Optional[str]¶

The description of this option group.

This may be None.

Type:

str

option_list: List[Option]¶

The list of options this group was initialized with.

Type:

list of Option

add_to(parser: argparse.ArgumentParser, config: RBToolsConfig, argv: List[str] = []) → None[source]¶

Add the group and all its contained options to the parser.

Parameters:

• parser (argparse.ArgumentParser) – The command-line parser.

• config (rbtools.config.RBToolsConfig) – The loaded RBTools configuration.

• argv (list, deprecated) – Unused legacy argument.
