The `reportError` utility was present because cli.StatusError would print
the error decorated with `Status: <error-message>, Code: <exit-code>`.
That was not desirable in many cases as it would mess-up the output. To
prevent this, the CLI had code to check for an empty `Status` (error message)
in which case the error would be "ignored" (and only used for the exit-status),
and the `reportError` utility would be used to manually print a custom error
message before returning the error.
Now that bca2090061 fixed the output format
of `cli.StatusError`, and 3dd6fc365d and
350a0b68a9 no longer discard these error,
we can get rid of this utility, and just set the error-message for
the status-error.
This patch:
- Introduces a `withHelp` which takes care of decorating errors with
a "Run --help" hint for the user.
- Introduces a `toStatusError` utility that detects certain errors in
the container to assign a corresponding exit-code (these error-codes
can be used to distinguish "client" errors from "container" errors).
- Removes the `reportError` utility, and removes code that manually
printed errors before returning.
Behavior is mostly unmodified, with the exception of some slight reformatting
of the errors:
- `withHelp` adds a `docker:` prefix to the error, to indicate the error
is produced by the `docker` command. This prefix was already present
in most cases.
- The "--help" hint is slightly updated ("Run 'docker run --help' for
more information" instead of "See 'docker run --help'"), to make it
more clear that it's a "call to action".
- An empty is added before the "--help" hint to separate it better from
the error-message.

When trying to use an invalid flag, the CLI currently prints the a short
error message, instructions to use the `--help` flag to learn about the
correct usage, followed by the command's usage output.
While this is a common convention, and may have been a nice gesture when
docker was still young and only had a few commands and options ("you did
something wrong, but here's an overview of what you can use"), that's no
longer the case, and many commands have a _very_ long output.
The result of this is that the error message, which is the relevant
information in this case - "You mis-typed something" - is lost in the
output, and hard to find (sometimes even requiring scrolling back).
The output is also confusing, because it _looks_ like something ran
successfully (most of the output is not about the error!).
Even further; the suggested resolution (try `--help` to see the correct
options) is rather redundant, because running teh command with `--help`
produces _exactly_ the same output as was just showh, baring the error
message. As a fun fact, due to the usage output being printed, the
output even contains not one, but _two_ "call to actions";
- `See 'docker volume --help'.` (under the erro message)
- `Run 'docker volume COMMAND --help' for more information on a command.`
(under the usage output)
In short; the output is too verbose, confusing, and doesn't provide
a good UX. Let's reduce the output produced so that the focus is on the
important information.
This patch:
- Changes the usage to the short-usage.
- Prefixes the error message with the binary / root-command name
(usually `docker:`) to be consistent with `unknon command`, and helps
to distinguish where the message originated from (the `docker` CLI in
this case).
- Adds an empty line between the error-message and the "call to action"
(`Run 'docker volume --help' ...` in the example below). This helps
separating the error message ("unkown flag") from the call-to-action.

"docker run" and "docker create" are mostly identical, so we can copy
the same completion functions,
We could possibly create a utility for this (similar to `addFlags()` which
configures both commands with the flags they share). I considered combining
his with `addFlags()`, but that utility is also used in various tests, in
which we don't need this feature, so keeping that for a future exercise.

EnvVarNames offers completion for environment-variable names. This
completion can be used for "--env" and "--build-arg" flags, which
allow obtaining the value of the given environment-variable if present
in the local environment, so we only should complete the names of the
environment variables, and not their value. This also prevents the
completion script from printing values of environment variables
containing sensitive values.
For example;
export MY_VAR=hello
docker run --rm --env MY_VAR alpine printenv MY_VAR

Improve the output for these validation errors:
- Removes the short command description from the output. This information
does not provide much useful help, and distracts from the error message.

Before this patch, output for invalid top-level and sub-commands differed.
For top-level commands, the CLI would print an error-message and a suggestion
to use `--help`. For missing *subcommands*, we would hit a different code-path,
and different output, which includes full "usage" / "help" output.
While it is a common convention to show usage output, and may have been
a nice gesture when docker was still young and only had a few commands
and options ("you did something wrong; here's an overview of what you
can use"), that's no longer the case, and many commands have a _very_
long output.
The result of this is that the error message, which is the relevant
information in this case - "You mis-typed something" - is lost in the
output, and hard to find (sometimes even requiring scrolling back).
The output is also confusing, because it _looks_ like something ran

output even contains not one, but _two_ "call to actions";

- `Run 'docker volume COMMAND --help' for more information on a command.`
(under the usage output)
In short; the output is too verbose, confusing, and doesn't provide
a good UX. Let's reduce the output produced so that the focus is on the
important information.
This patch:
- Changes the usage to the short-usage.
- Changes the error-message to mention the _full_ command instead of only
the command after `docker` (so `docker no-such-command` instead of
`no-such-command`).
- Prefixes the error message with the binary / root-command name
(usually `docker:`); this is something we can still decide on, but
it's a pattern we already use in some places. The motivation for this
is that `docker` commands can often produce output that's a combination
of output from the CLI itself, output from the daemon, and even output
from the container. The `docker:` prefix helps to distinguish where
the message originated from (the `docker` CLI in this case).
- Adds an empty line between the error-message and the "call to action"
(`Run 'docker volume --help'...` in the example below). This helps

This error didn't do a great job at formatting. If a StatusError was
produced without a Status message, it would print a very non-informative
error, with information missing.
Let's update the output:
- If a status-message is provided; print just that (after all the
status code is something that can be found from the shell, e.g.
through `echo $?` in Bash).
- If no status-message is provided: print a message more similar to
Go's `exec.ExecError`, which uses `os.rocessState.String()` (see [1]).
Before this patch, an error without custom status would print:
Status: , Code: 2
After this patch:
exit status 2
In situations where a custom error-message is provided, the error-message
is print as-is, whereas before this patch, the message got combined with
the `Status:` and `Code:`, which resulted in some odd output.

This makes a quick pass through our tests;
Discard output/err
----------------------------------------------
Many tests were testing for error-conditions, but didn't discard output.
This produced a lot of noise when running the tests, and made it hard
to discover if there were actual failures, or if the output was expected.
For example:
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors
Error: "create" requires exactly 2 arguments.
See 'create --help'.
Usage: create [OPTIONS] CONFIG file|- [flags]
Create a config from a file or STDIN
Error: "create" requires exactly 2 arguments.
See 'create --help'.
Usage: create [OPTIONS] CONFIG file|- [flags]
Create a config from a file or STDIN
Error: error creating config
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors (0.00s)
And after discarding output:
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors (0.00s)
Use sub-tests where possible
----------------------------------------------
Some tests were already set-up to use test-tables, and even had a usable
name (or in some cases "error" to check for). Change them to actual sub-
tests. Same test as above, but now with sub-tests and output discarded:
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors/requires_exactly_2_arguments
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors/requires_exactly_2_arguments#01
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors/error_creating_config
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors (0.00s)
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors/requires_exactly_2_arguments (0.00s)
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors/requires_exactly_2_arguments#01 (0.00s)
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors/error_creating_config (0.00s)
PASS
It's not perfect in all cases (in the above, there's duplicate "expected"
errors, but Go conveniently adds "#01" for the duplicate). There's probably
also various tests I missed that could still use the same changes applied;
we can improve these in follow-ups.
Set cmd.Args to prevent test-failures
----------------------------------------------
When running tests from my IDE, it compiles the tests before running,
then executes the compiled binary to run the tests. Cobra doesn't like
that, because in that situation `os.Args` is taken as argument for the
command that's executed. The command that's tested now sees the test-
flags as arguments (`-test.v -test.run ..`), which causes various tests
to fail ("Command XYZ does not accept arguments").
# compile the tests:
go test -c -o foo.test
# execute the test:
./foo.test -test.v -test.run TestFoo
=== RUN TestFoo
Error: "foo" accepts no arguments.
The Cobra maintainers ran into the same situation, and for their own
use have added a special case to ignore `os.Args` in these cases;
https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/v1.8.1/command.go#L1078-L1083
args := c.args
// Workaround FAIL with "go test -v" or "cobra.test -test.v", see #155
if c.args == nil && filepath.Base(os.Args[0]) != "cobra.test" {
args = os.Args[1:]
}
Unfortunately, that exception is too specific (only checks for `cobra.test`),
so doesn't automatically fix the issue for other test-binaries. They did
provide a `cmd.SetArgs()` utility for this purpose
https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/v1.8.1/command.go#L276-L280
// SetArgs sets arguments for the command. It is set to os.Args[1:] by default, if desired, can be overridden
// particularly useful when testing.
func (c *Command) SetArgs(a []string) {
c.args = a
}
And the fix is to explicitly set the command's args to an empty slice to
prevent Cobra from falling back to using `os.Args[1:]` as arguments.
cmd := newSomeThingCommand()
cmd.SetArgs([]string{})
Some tests already take this issue into account, and I updated some tests
for this, but there's likely many other ones that can use the same treatment.
Perhaps the Cobra maintainers would accept a contribution to make their
condition less specific and to look for binaries ending with a `.test`
suffix (which is what compiled binaries usually are named as).
