Fix --version help and output for plugins #2180
Conversation
I’ll let you rebase this one first @nirs |
When setting Command.Version, a --version option is added. The help message for the --version command did not consider the command display name: Flags: -h, --help help for kubectl plugin -v, --version version for kubectl-plugin With this change the help test is consistent with other flags: Flags: -h, --help help for kubectl plugin -v, --version version for kubectl plugin
This allows using the display name in templates or other code that want to use the same value.
The version template used `{{.Name}}` but for plugins you want to use `{{.DisplayName}}` to be consistent with other help output. With this change will show: $ kubectl plugin --version kubectl plugin version 1.0.0 This may cause issues for programs processing the output if the program assumes that the name of the program never contains spaces, and the version string is the third word. Users can use their own template if they think that this is an issue. If we think that this can break users we can drop this change and let users opt in by setting their own template using `{{.DisplayName}}`.

* Fix --version help with CommandDisplayNameAnnotation When setting Command.Version, a --version option is added. The help message for the --version command did not consider the command display name: Flags: -h, --help help for kubectl plugin -v, --version version for kubectl-plugin With this change the help test is consistent with other flags: Flags: -h, --help help for kubectl plugin -v, --version version for kubectl plugin * Make command DisplayName() public This allows using the display name in templates or other code that want to use the same value. * Use display name in version template The version template used `{{.Name}}` but for plugins you want to use `{{.DisplayName}}` to be consistent with other help output. With this change will show: $ kubectl plugin --version kubectl plugin version 1.0.0
When writing a plugin and setting CommandDisplayNameAnnotation you want the display name to be used in help text. This did not work when setting command Version since the help text and version templates used the command Name().
This change makes command DisplayName() public, so it can be used in templates or other code that want to use this value, and fix --version help text and template to use the command DisplayName().
