What do folks use for an arg parser for kts scripts?
Hitting this with Kotlin 1.4: https://github.com/holgerbrandl/kscript/issues/279
kscript doesn't seem to work w/ annotations so that rules out a bunch of them.
Apache Commons CLI seems to work.

Could you maybe use *.main.kts files instead of kscript?

Would that provide argument parsing?

[mbonnin]

Not really but the way to handle the classpath will be different and will maybe not show the problem?

[mbonnin]

Kscript is really handy so I'd rather fix the scripting environment rather than use something else

For the record, I tried the reproducer project in that issue and it seems to work on my machine 🤷‍♂️ . I don't really want to install docker though so I can't test in the exact same conditions

Clikt, but I don't use kscript and use kts

[Dominaezzz]

There's also a kotlinx-cli .

Kotlinx-cli uses the same "by" technique that appears to cause that issue with Clikt.
Scripts work fine with kotlin 1.3.72.
Not a huge deal... Just liked Clikt a lot better than apache commons cli 🙂
