Description: ------------ If Password option is specified via XML instead of addOption method, password is not optional on the command line. Fixed by adding the following at line 200 of XmlParser.php: if ($obj->action == 'Password') { // special case for Password action, password can be passed to the // commandline or prompted by the parser $obj->argument_optional = true; } Test script: --------------- <option name="ftppass"> <short_name>-p</short_name> <long_name>--password</long_name> <description>FTP Password</description> <action>Password</action> </option> Expected result: ---------------- Should get a password prompt if password not specified on command line. Actual result: -------------- Am told option ftppass requires a value.
