Hi. I have this code:

fun main(args: Array<String>) = Launcher.subcommands(InitKeystore).main(args)

object Launcher : CliktCommand(help = "", invokeWithoutSubcommand = true) {
...
    override fun run() {
        ...
        log("I have done something")
    }
}

object InitKeystore : CliktCommand(name = "keystore_init", help = "") {
...
    override fun run() {
        ...
        log("I have done init")
    }
}

When I run it without the keystore_init subcommand, it launches correctly only the Launcher , but when I specify the keystore_init subcommand, I see in my output both the log strings, ie. it runs the main command and then the subcommand ?

This is correct.
When you run a sub-command, the parent command is always run. There is no option to prevent this occurring.

The invokeWithoutSubcommand option only controls what should happen if you Do Not invoke a sub-command, i.e. only when you do not run keystore_init in your case.

By default this is false, meaning without a sub-command the parent is not run. When true, the parent is run with or without a sub-command.

Ah, thanks. Is wrapping everything in the main commands run inside of

if (currentContext.invokedSubcommand == null)

appropriate solution to this?
