Get expanded @-file arguments?

[mashlol]

Is it possible to get the parsed, expanded @-file arguments after parsing is complete? In ParseResult, I see there is a tentativeMatch which does have the correct arguments parsed out, but it doesn't seem to be exposed externally. The originalArgs object still has the un-expanded @-file arguments like @/path/to/file.args

Basically given binary --arg @/path/to/file --other_arg @/path/to/second/file, is it possible to get binary --arg expanded_file --other_arg expanded_file? Either as a raw string, or a list of parsed tokens (preferred).

The use-case is to be able to log the actual arguments even if you invoke the binary with a file, and support replayability with a copy/pastable repro command.

Hi, with the current version of picocli this feature does not exist.
We could add a method ParseResult.expandedArgs() that returns the argument list that was actually processed by the parser (so after @file expansion).

Will you be able to provide a pull request for this?

Sure, I can submit a pull request for this.

This is a nice addition!
Thank you for the PR! Merged and will be included in the next release.
