    Had a quick question. I am building a CLI using yargs and want to give users the options to add their own commands in a specific folder. I know I can use the following to accomplish this:

    .commandDir(path.join(process.cwd(), 'commands))

    This works great when the folder exists in the project, but if it does exist I get the following error:

    Error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'DIRECTORY_PATH'

    is there a way add the command directory ONLY if the directory exists?

    hey, I'm trying to use commandDir here in /bin to load commands from /lib but it seems the positional arguments only work for the first command and not the other ones? am I doing something wrong? https://github.com/jkirchartz/pos2tracery

    Hi, I'm having trouble writing typescript yargs unit tests. Can anyone help with this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60038269/how-to-correctly-unit-test-yargs-in-typescript,
    thanks.

    Hi, I am wondering whether yargs supports command lines as the following: myprog -r repo -v clone -p proj -a, i.e. having arguments (-r, -v) that are available for each command and are specified before it and arguments that are only valid for a specific command (-p, -a). Similar to https://git-scm.com/docs/git. I tried using something like yargs.option(...).command(...) but that did not seem to work.

    @lvanengelen
    To clarify: In the example clone is a command, not an argument to -v. Only now seeing how unclear that was sigh

    Hey all. Is there a known working recipe for nested completions? Suppose I have cmd a [a1, a2,a3]. When I punch in subsequently cmd a a1 I continue to get completions as a1 a2 a3 even if I did a .completion(a1, ...) with higher specificity options

    Hey folks, if writing CLIs with yargs, is there a recommended way to do any sort of logging? Is it just a matter of use npm/debug, or npm/winston?

    Is it just me, or is http://yargs.js.org/docs/ missing its content?
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yargs/yargs/v15.4.1/docs/api.md returns 404 for me

    Hi, has anyone attempted to use the non-singleton interface with es modules?
    I don't understand the esm platform shims at all. I'm trying to use yargs in node and not the browser, I am making a CLI utility after all, why must I shim anything?
    Ultimately, my goal is to create a utility, bundle it with rollup and distribute a single executable, while using typescript, but that turned out to be easier said than done

    @badeball_gitlab
    Hmm, given that the module-path in package.json is and was wrong since release, I guess not so many are doing this just yet
    Jonas Amundsen
    @badeball_gitlab
    In lib/platform-shims/esm.mjs:13 you do import y18n from 'y18n', but y18n doesn't have a default export. You can see in node_modules/y18n/build/lib/index.js (after having installed yargs obv), that it only export function y18n(..) {..}
    Consuming the esm-build of yargs using eg. rollup just doesn't work atm (it respects the "module" field of packages recursively)
    Jonas Amundsen
    @badeball_gitlab
    It appears that the esm-build exports a non-singleton interface, while the cjs exposes a singleton interface. Given that I've understood it correctly, this makes it difficult to consume @types/yargs, as it assumes one of them
    I realize that there probably went a ton of work into yargs/yargs#1708 and I appriciate that, but I wish you would fix the itsy bitsy remaining pieces to make this compatible with eg. rollup

    Hello everyone!
    I have developed a framework for yargs, that is really easy to use, supports subCommands (which is one of the thing why a lot of people use yargs), and it was intended to be testable by default.

    if you like it, please leave a star on the project ^^
    else if ! you like it, leave an issue why

    @ljharb
    yargs already supports subcommands, what does your project offer that's different?
    nugaon
    @nugaon
    yep, that's why I wrote the people use yargs in the first place. it approaches the app structure for commands from a different perspective and thereby make it easier
    Jordan Harband
    @ljharb
    it wraps yargs tho, or it replaces it?
    nugaon
    @nugaon
    of course it doesn't replace, it utilizes yargs the most. check it out!

    Hi everyone! Is there a way to avoid the double hyphen when I'm calling npm script with yargs? Let's say I have this script "test mocha 'tests/**/*.test.js'" in my package.json. As far as I understand I can pass some custom params only like this npm run test -- --myCustomArg=foo. Can I somehow shorten it to be script --yargs ?
