Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 798675
Some katello subcommands do not display the required options in the help screen

Created attachment 566563 [details] Patch to add (required) to the required options in `katello repo enable -h` When running katello from the command-line, some subcommand help screens do not show the required options. For instance, `katello org create -h` shows: --name=NAME organization name eg: foo.example.com (required) The (required) at the end shows that --name is a required option. However, `katello repo enable -h` does not show any required options. For instance, --name is required, but it shows: --name=NAME repository name Each of the required options should be appended with (required). --name, --org and --product are all required for `katello repo enable`. I have included a patch to fix this issue. There are several other places where this needs to be addressed as well (e.g., `katello package list`).
Created attachment 572745 [details] patch of missing "(required)" descriptions
It looks like that in case of `katello repo enable` and `katello package list` a repository can be specified by --id or by --name, --org, --product. def check_options(self): if not self.has_option('id'): self.require_option('name') self.require_option('org') self.require_option('product') I found 6 other similar cases. How should these options be documented? And should it be documented?
