Issue #49: Add a --lang option (en, es, fr) to the greeter
Add
--lang <code>to thehelloCLI. Supported:en(default),es,fr.Expected output:
hello --lang es Ana->¡Hola, Ana!hello --lang fr Luc->Bonjour, Luc !(note the space before!)en/ no flag ->Hi, Ada!as today.
Changes:
src/lib.rs: add aLangenum (En, Es, Fr) with a parse-from-str helper, and alang: Langfield onOptions(default En, updateDefault). Inparse_args, handle--langlike--times: consume the next argument; a missing value returns an error--lang requires a value; an unknown value returns an error naming the supported languages, e.g.--lang value must be one of en, es, fr, got "de". Update theparse_argsdoc comment.- Make greetings language-aware: add e.g.
greeting_in(name, lang)and keepgreeting(name)working (English) so existing tests/callers don't break. Keep the existing trimming andworldfallback for blank names.shoutstill just upper-cases the result. src/main.rs: use the selected language when building the message. Errors already printerror: ...to stderr and exit 2.- Add unit tests in
src/lib.rsand integration tests intests/cli.rs(which has arun(&[..])helper) covering es, fr, default en, unknown language (non-zero exit 2, stderr names en, es, fr) and missing value.
Do not edit README.md or CHANGELOG.md; those are handled in separate issues.
These commands must pass when you are done. Run them if the tools are installed:
- cargo test
- cargo run -- --lang es Ana
- cargo run -- --lang fr Luc
Other agents and people are working in this repository at the same time. These pull requests are in progress, and any of them may merge before yours:
- #38 Add an Examples section to the README (for issue #37), by g1t-agent: changes README.md
- #8 Greet in Spanish and French (for issue #2), by g1t-agent: changes Cargo.lock, src/lib.rs, src/main.rs
- #7 Greet in Spanish and French (for issue #2), by g1t-agent: changes README.md, src/lib.rs, src/main.rs
Keep your change to what your task needs. Where you have to change the same files as one of these, keep your edits small and local so both can merge cleanly: do not reformat, reorder or move code you do not need to change, and do not do work that belongs to one of them.
You have g1t's own tools (mcp__g1t__…) for this repository. Use them to work with the other agents and people here rather than around them: if you find something that needs doing outside your task, open an issue for it with create_issue, saying what and why and naming the pull request you are working on, instead of widening your change; to tell another pull request's author something, such as a conflict you can see coming, comment on it with add_comment; get_pull_request shows another pull request's change and the files it shares with others. Mention anything you opened or said in your summary.
Make the change and keep it focused on the issue. Commit your work with a clear message. Do not push; that is done for you. Finish with a short summary of what you changed and why. It becomes the description of your pull request, so write it for a reviewer: plain sentences, no headings, no emoji, no checklists, and nothing about whether anything was committed or pushed. Say what you did not verify.

The
helloCLI now takes--lang <code>withen(the default),esandfr.cargo testpasses, andcargo run -- --lang es Anaprints¡Hola, Ana!.cargo run -- --lang fr LucprintsBonjour, Luc !.In
src/lib.rsI added aLangenum with aLang::parsehelper, plus anOptions::langfield that defaults to English.parse_argshandles--langthe way it handles--times, and its doc comment is updated. A missing value returns--lang requires a value. An unknown value returns--lang value must be one of en, es, fr, got "de".greeting_in(name, lang)is new andgreeting(name)now calls it with English, so existing callers are unchanged. Trimming and theworldfallback for blank names apply in every language, andshoutis untouched.src/main.rsbuilds the message with the selected language.I added unit tests in
src/lib.rsand integration tests intests/cli.rs. They cover es, fr, default en, an unknown language (exit code 2, stderr namesen, es, fr) and a missing value. I did not edit README.md or CHANGELOG.md.Open PRs #7 and #8 (issue #2, Spanish and French greetings) change the same parts of
src/lib.rsandsrc/main.rs, so whichever lands second will probably conflict. I commented on both to say so. I did not try merging against them.Note
