... requested for.

Let's say that I have an application called 'example' that has a verb called 'dothing'. If I entered the following on the console:

example help dothing

The usage text displayed isn't for the verb specified but the default usage text.

Hi,
you're right the correct behavior should the one described on the top.

Thanks for reporting and for the fix.

Sorry but for the moment I'm unable to accept PR (as stated in gsscoder/commandline#67).

This will be of great help in my current 2.0 development (for the moment still unpublished); since it's a deep kernel rewrite, you can understand, that in the transitory phase this would mean maintain two branches...

The fix will be integrated in the new branch. :D

Thanks,
Giacomo Stelluti Scala

Hi can we take a few minutes to merge this PR?
The issue is really a deal breaker for the Verb commands feature in stable 1.9.71.2. Who can use Verb commands without verb specific help?

Since it already took 5 months to develop the 2.0 since then, maybe it will take another few months. Before the 2.0 is ready, can we just take a few time let current version work?

After all, this is really a one-line fix.

Thanks!

@jonnyyu this pull request can't be merged as-is since the codebase has changed radically since then. Are you still experiencing this problem?

Can you upgrade to the latest version from git (2.0) and see if it's still an issue?

On the project homepage there's a "download zip" button on the bottom right. Just extract the project folder and add it as a reference in your solution. Only @gsscoder has NuGet privileges, so I can't help there.

No, I finally gave up using it and switch to ManyConsole instead.

How different is the ManyConsole API? How long did it take you to convert from CommandLine? Thanks for any info.

Resolved.
For verb help, run:

    myapp  myverb --help
