[3.0.0-beta.1] Non-unique arguments runtime panic #1969

I'm struggling to port my clap arguments from 2.33.1 to 3.0.0-beta.1 and I'm not sure if I'm encountering a bug or if I've messed up something syntactically. It might be a good to improve the error message if its working as intended.

Here's my main function that compiles and runs in 2.3.3.1:

extern crate clap;
use clap::{crate_version, App, Arg};
use headless_chrome::{protocol::page::ScreenshotFormat, Browser};

fn main() -> Result<(), failure::Error> {
    let args = App::new("shotweb")
        .about("Take screenshots of Chrome-rendered webpages.")
        .version(crate_version!())
        .arg(Arg::with_name("url")
            .help("URL or file to take a screencap of. i.e. https://example.com or file:///path/to/file.html")
            .index(1)
            .required(true))
        .arg(Arg::with_name("output-path")
            .help("Local file path to save screenshot image to.")
            .short("o")
            .takes_value(true)
            .default_value("/tmp/screenshot.png"))
        .arg(Arg::with_name("element")
            .help("CSS selector of element to screenshot.")
            .short("e")
            .takes_value(true))
        .arg(Arg::with_name("image-format")
            .help("Local file path to save screenshot image to.")
            .short("i")
            .takes_value(true)
            .default_value("png")
            .possible_values(&["png", "jpg"]))
        .get_matches();
    let url: &str = args.value_of("url").unwrap();
    let output_path: &str = args.value_of("output-path").unwrap();

    let img = screenshot_webpage(url)?;
    std::fs::write(output_path, img)?;
    Ok(())
}

And here is my v3 attempt:

use clap::{crate_version, App, Arg};
use headless_chrome::{protocol::page::ScreenshotFormat, Browser};

fn main() -> Result<(), failure::Error> {
    let args = App::new("shotweb")
        .about("Take screenshots of Chrome-rendered webpages.")
        .version(crate_version!())
        .arg(Arg::new("url")
            .about("URL or file to take a screencap of. i.e. https://example.com or file:///path/to/file.html")
            .index(1)
            .required(true))
        .arg(Arg::new("output-path")
            .about("Local file path to save screenshot image to.")
            .short('o')
            .takes_value(true)
            .default_value("/tmp/screenshot.png"))
        .arg(Arg::new("element")
            .about("CSS selector of element to screenshot.")
            .short('e')
            .takes_value(true))
        .arg(Arg::new("image-format")
            .about("Local file path to save screenshot image to.")
            .short('i')
            .takes_value(true)
            .default_value("png")
            .possible_values(&["png", "jpg"]))
        .get_matches();
    let url: &str = args.value_of("url").unwrap();
    let output_path: &str = args.value_of("output-path").unwrap();

    let img = screenshot_webpage(url)?;
    std::fs::write(output_path, img)?;
    Ok(())
}

which returns a not-very-enlightening error at runtime:

Is anyone able to spot the issue I'm having? In the v3 beta version I've also moved it back into main, in case there was for some reason something strange with dropping get_matches into its own function.

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You are following master branch README for 3.0.0-beta.1 release. It will not work because there is a breaking change in the master branch after 3.0.0-beta.1 was released. Please check out the tag and then follow the README if you want to try out the beta.

Additionally, I would suggest you to wait for v3 to come out properly because we still plan to break more things.

Understood, thank you @pksunkara !

I have the same problem with my code.

If I understand it correctly, @catleeball reverted the code back to use clap version 2.33.1 which fixed the issue for them.

And the release 3.0.0-beta.1 is broken as stated issue #1965, which was fixed in PR #1966. The PR has been merged to master, but there has not yet been a release to crates.io which includes that PR, right?

So, if I do not want to revert back to clap version 2.x, the next best solution would be to directly use master, correct?

I suppose he best solution would be to make a point release (also beta) that will bring the README and examples on par with latest crates.io release. @pksunkara @kbknapp Any objections?

The whole point of beta releases is that users can try out and report bugs before the main version is released. If this wasn't the motivation of pushing for beta releases, then I don't understand the significance of having the beta release

Let me clarify a bit more. Please wait for 3.0 before using clap in Production. The beta releases as advertised are just for trying out.

I forgot I was going to ask: should I file a bug about the error I encountered above, or is this issue already known and being addressed in the pipeline?

I would prefer so, it is better having this tracked even though it is redundant.

This is not a bug. You were just mixing up the versions. We already addressed it.

To clarify, you were using code shown in master README with 3.0.0-beta.1 which shouldn't work because there are some breaking changes in master.

I compiled and ran this code using 3.0.0-beta.1. Do you mean that I had a syntax issue in my code that was changed in 3.0? Apologies for the confusion.

Yeah. That is what I meant in

You are following master branch README for beta.1 release. It will not work because there is a breaking change.

Let me edit that comment with more clarity since there seems to be misunderstanding.

I don't think we should do it. I want to finish off all the planned breaking changes before the next release (rc) and ask people for feedback.

3.0.0-beta.1 is not broken. You were just following the wrong examples. If you go to the examples folder of that tag on GitHub and follow them, it will work. On Wed, Jun 17, 2020, 09:50 Pavan Kumar Sunkara <[email protected]> wrote:
