passing all the cli arguments to the command #136
Description
I want to achieve the following
@manager.command
def hello(*args):
print "hello", ', '.join(args)
and that throws manage.py: error: too many arguments
Now I go through code and understand that it has to do with capture_all_args (which is not documented anywhere) and make it
class HelloCommand(Command):
def __init__(self):
self.capture_all_args=True
def run(self, *args, **kwargs):
print "hello", ', '.join(*args)
which works fine.
Can this be added to documentation, please?
