GLI::DefaultHelpCommand.skips_pre=false

[atonevski]

I want the help command to run the pre block. I put
GLI::DefaultHelpCommand.skips_pre=false
just before
exit run(ARGV)

and I get:

uninitialized constant GLI::DefaultHelpCommand (NameError)

Any hints?

I think this feature didn't make it to GLI2 :( I think it would be easy enough to port. I'll leave this open as a feature request and see what I can do. I can't think of a good workaround without some monkey-patching…

This should be fixed in 2.5.4. You'll need to do something like this:

GLI::Commands::Help.skips_pre    = false
# and/or
GLI::Commands::Help.skips_post   = false
# and/or
GLI::Commands::Help.skips_around = false
