verless / verless

This is a good first issue for anyone who wants to get started with spf13/cobra.

The verless CLI is built using Cobra. In case an errors occurs, Cobra prints the error and the usage of the particular command, and verless prints the same error again:

$ verless create project --abc
Error: unknown flag: --abc
Usage:
  verless create project NAME [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help        help for project
      --overwrite   overwrite the directory if it already exists

❌ unknown flag: --abc

Error: unknown flag: --abc is the error message printed by Cobra.
Usage: ... is the command usage printed by Cobra.
❌ unknown flag: --abc is the error message printed by verless.

We only want to print the error message from verless.

For this purpose, Cobra offers two fields in the Command type:

SilenceErrors to prevent that errors are printed
SilenceUsage to prevent that the usage is printed

This fields must be set to true for the root command, which is this one:

verless/cli/root.go

Lines 10 to 17 in 4bec8a4

    
           rootCmd := cobra.Command{ 
        
           	Use:     "verless", 
        
           	Short:   `A simple and lightweight Static Site Generator.`, 
        
           	Version: config.GitTag, 
        
           	RunE: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error { 
        
           		return cmd.Help() 
        
           	}, 
        
           }

That's it! The output should look like so:

$ verless create project --abc
❌ unknown flag: --abc

I would like to work on this

	rootCmd := cobra.Command{
	Use: "verless",
	Short: `A simple and lightweight Static Site Generator.`,
	Version: config.GitTag,
	RunE: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error {
	return cmd.Help()
	},
	}

Don't print Cobra error and Usage when an Error occurs
