Default without statement

[WeibingChen17]

Hi all,

I defined a console like this

class myConsole(cmd.cmd2):
  ...
  @with_argparser(....)
  def do_search(self, statement: cmd2.Statement):
    self._search(' '.join(statement.item_name))

The command search combines all the arguments from the parser, and passes it as a string to a method _search.

This command is most frequently used, so I would like to ignore the command. I am thinking to use default to call search method.

So I set it up like this:

  def default(self, statement: cmd2:Statement):
    self.search(statement)

The module complained that I did not pass item_name which is required in the parser.

I am thinking to call _search directly, like this

  def default(self, statement: cmd2:Statement):
    self._search(statement)

However, if I only put one keyword, the module waited for me to input the statement, because the first keyword was treated as an unknown command.

I searched around and document (tried to used onecmd but had the same issue) and internet, but got no luck.

Wondering if we have any solution here. Thanks in advance!

Never mind, I figured it out from the documentation of cmd2.Statement.

I passed the statement.command_and_args to the self._search method:

def default(self, statement: cmd2:Statement):
    self._search(statement.command_and_args)

Or in other way, I passed the statement.raw to self.do_search.

 def default(self, statement: cmd2:Statement):
    self.search(statement.raw)
