CLI args

These unit-tests provide examples of how the CLI bootstrap does work:

https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/blob/1.1.0/unit-tests/ConsoleCliTest.php#L61 https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/blob/1.1.0/unit-tests/ConsoleCliTest.php#L79 https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/blob/1.1.0/unit-tests/ConsoleCliTest.php#L92

Yes, I saw that, I'm just not sure how to apply that to the following:

$app = new \Phalcon\CLI\Console(); $app->setDI($di); $app->handle($_SERVER['argv']);

In other words, I can set the handle manually as per the unit tests, but I can't seem to work out how to get it to read in commands from the command line.

You need explicitly set what parameter is the task/module/action, etc:

$app->handle([
   'task' => $_SERVER['argv'][0]
   'action' => $_SERVER['argv'][1]
]);

Doesn't seems like a better solution, what if the user doesn't give all arguments? How do you handle the case eg:

'module' => 'devtools',
'task' => 'main',
'action' => 'hello',
'World',
'######'

Where the action takes potentially multiple input.

Is there some kind of parser?

This works for me atm. All tasks in one directory and without modules:

$loader = new \Phalcon\Loader();

$loader->registerDirs(array(
        __DIR__ .'/tasks/'
))->register();

//Using the CLI factory default services container
$di = new \Phalcon\DI\FactoryDefault\CLI();

//Create a console application
$console = new \Phalcon\CLI\Console();
$console->setDI($di);

$args = array();
$argv = $_SERVER['argv'];

$args['task'] = isset($argv[1]) ? $argv[1] : 'main';
$args['action'] = isset($argv[2]) ? $argv[2] : 'main';

unset($argv[0], $argv[1], $argv[2]);

$args['params'] = count($argv) > 0 ? array_values($argv) : array();

$console->handle($args);

Maybe this helps: https://forum.phalcon.io/discussion/372/phalcon-cli-apps-with-namespaces-in-phalcon-loader#C1606

But I used it myself also a bit different. I just registered different directories with unique task names:

            $loader = new Phalcon\Loader();
            $loader
                // FIXME: Loader needs to runs with namespaces
                //->registerNamespaces($this->_taskDirectories)
                ->registerDirs($this->_taskDirectories)
                ->register();
