T'interwebs, I'm confused. I'm writing a program to learn Rust, and the argument parser is behaving oddly. I give it one argument, and it acts as though I've given it another. Please can someone point out the bit where I've been stupid? gist.github.com/arafel/2d65e⦠cc @dsilverstone

I'm afraid I've lost the knack to read clap parser chains. I use the derive approach where you define your CLI as structs and enums

Though what it looks like is that your `update` argument has the value `search` which is kinda expected - it looks to me like you intended `update` and `search` to be subcommands of `groups` no?

I did, but I was expecting βupdateβ to be Boolean, ie if the flag is present the value is true, no arguments or anything. search takes an argument (what to search for), update doesnβt. Did I get that wrong?

Sadly if the semantics of something are valid but not what you wanted, rustc won't catch it :D
