Can ArgParseResults be constructed? about argu HOT 5 CLOSED

My use case is I want a way to get this working:

from argu.

You can sort of achieve this by doing the following:

type UnionArgParser<'Args when 'Args :> IArgParserTemplate> with
    member parser.CreateParseResultsOfList(inputs : 'Args list) : ParseResults<'Args> =
        let cliParams = parser.PrintCommandLine inputs // unparse inputs to cli form
        parser.ParseCommandLine(inputs = cliParams, ignoreMissing = true)

This will unparse the inputs to string and then re-parse them to form the required ParseResults object. Note that this will not work with arguments that carry the NoCommandLineAttribute.

Awesome! Thanks.

@eiriktsarpalis Any chance we can get something like parser.CreateParseResultsOfList baked in?

@ctaggart I'm willing to accept PRs that implement this :-)
