Clojurians Log v2

Hi everyone, first time poster. I'm trying to use tools.cli from within a babashka script. So I'm not sure if my question should be oriented there or here but here it goes

Does anyone know how to enforce required options (ie. not missing) with tools.cli?

I've tried `:validate` and `:validate-fn` but they don't seem to be invoked for the value specified by the `:default` key (which as was suggested was ::missing and the :validate fn was :validate [(fn [x] (println "XXXXX:" x) (not= ::missing)) "Missing required option: --gitlab-token"]

@nicolas.estrada938 You could just do (assert (:required (:options parsed)) "required is required")

Should I do this after I invoke parse-opts or in a :validate key?

after

oh ok... that's all I needed to know 😉 Thanks! I do feel that tools.cli could benefit with a :mandatory flag the way https://github.com/grammarly/omniconf does (too bad it doesn't work with babashka 😅 )

I think required options are contextual so it depends on how you invoked the tool. E.g. tool --help doesn't require any other options, but tool --foo might

Where does omniconf fail? We could look to make it work with bb if it's within reasonable distance. Let's talk in #babashka

Of course they are contextual, but if tools.cli performs validation I believe checking for existance falls into that category

Perhaps #clojure is the best channel to discuss new features for tools.cli.
