BoolWithInverseFlag alias not shown in help #2216
Description
My urfave/cli version is
3.5.0
Dependency Management
- My project is using go modules.
Describe the bug
Aliases defined for BoolWithInverseFlag are processed, but not shown in usage text.
To reproduce
&cli.BoolWithInverseFlag{
Name: "color",
Aliases: []string{"c"},
Usage: "enable colored text output",
Value: false,
},
Observed behavior
Usage text shown is --
--[no-]color enable colored text output (default: false)
Expected behavior
I expected to see something like this which would be in line with BoolFlag.
--[no-]color, -c=true enable colored text output (default: false)
Additional context
The short alias is functional. All of these work exactly like you would expect.
--color
--no-color
--color=true
--color=false
-c
-c=true
-c=false
