click-noexit 0.1.0

Suppresses the default behavior of Click commands to exit the process.

click-noexit

A utility for the Click command-line interface library that prevents commands from exiting the application directly. Instead, it allows commands to return exit codes for improved control and handling in larger applications.

Introduction

click-noexit is a decorator for Click commands designed to suppress the default behavior of exiting the application upon command completion or when an error occurs. This is particularly useful when integrating Click commands into larger applications, where you want to handle exits and exceptions more gracefully.

Installation

Install click-noexit using pip:

pip install click-noexit

Or, if you are using Poetry:

poetry add click-noexit

Ensure that you have Click version 8.0.0 or newer.

Installation

Import and use the noexit decorator to wrap your Click commands:

import click
import click_noexit

@click_noexit.noexit()
@click.command()
def my_command():
    # Command logic here
    pass

The noexit decorator can be used without any additional arguments. It modifies the behavior of the Click command to prevent the application from exiting and allows the command to return exit codes instead.

Examples

Basic Command

@click_noexit.noexit()
@click.command()
def hello() -> None:
    click.echo("Hello, World!")

Command with Exit Code

@noexit()
@click.command()
def goodbye():
    click.echo("Goodbye!")
    return 42
