The upstream for cli_args has (since this PR was started) migrated the project to this org. I proposed this a long time ago but this PR made me ping the author again and this time it happened. Now that we can fix upstream I think we should fix this issue at the source and then just use it correctly in this project. |

Hi Caleb.
This is fantastic news! I saw that lua_cliargs badly needed to be migrated to lunarmodules when I did my intial research, I'm glad you managed to make it happen.
I'll write a fix for the issue upstream soon; once it's done I'll comment on the issue in the busted repo with a link to the upstream fix.
Once it's in, you can throw away my original PR. Let me know if you want me to write a proper usage patch for busted after that fix goes in.

The upstream for cli_args has (since this PR was started) migrated the project to this org. I proposed this a long time ago but this PR made me ping the author again and this time it happened. Now that we *can fix upstream* I think we *should* fix this issue at the source and then just *use* it correctly in this project.

Fixes #697
This change adds a check on the error returned from the
cliargslibrary, and provides a "help" argument to the consumer code inbusted/runner.lua.It is based on the workaround used with the same library here: https://github.com/sile-typesetter/sile/pull/1737/files
except that the code in
busted/runner.luaprobably won't need to change ifcliargsever supports adding a--helpflag in the "correct" way.
