upload-stemcell flag odd behaviour

[dprotaso]

I notice this with alpine:latest where the shell is busybox. Haven't tested in bash though...

this doesn't work (I would expect it to)

$ om -k upload-stemcell --floating false --stemcell *.tgz
could not execute "upload-stemcell": could not parse upload-stemcell flags: missing required flag "--stemcell"

But this does work

$ om -k upload-stemcell --stemcell *.tgz --floating false
processing stemcell
....

We have created an issue in Pivotal Tracker to manage this. Unfortunately, the Pivotal Tracker project is private so you may be unable to view the contents of the story.

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

I confirmed it also happens in ubuntu with bash

Hi @dprotaso ! Our team will likely be unable to get to this issue for a while, but you are welcome to submit a PR!

This is the second report (the first) of the order of arguments not being honored in om.

This specific to upload-stemcell.
We have to investigate the argument handling and see what it is.
Thanks for reporting this.

I found that

Case 1:
om -k upload-stemcell --floating="false" --stemcell="path-to-stemcell"
result: Upload works and floating arg is honored

Case 2:
om -k upload-stemcell --stemcell path-to-stemcell --floating false
result: Upload works but floating arg is not honored

Case 3:
om -k upload-stemcell --floating false --stemcell path-to-stemcell
result: Fails with could not execute "upload-stemcell": could not parse upload-stemcell flags: missing required flag "--stemcell"
