Deno: Unstable flag doesn't work with deno install

[MarcHanin]

Hi,
It's currently not possible to install deno module with the --unstable flag like.

deno install --unstable ....

Version

deno 0.42.0
v8 8.2.308
typescript 3.8.3

Don't hesitate if I can help.

Fix for this problem is rather easy: deno install should accept --unstable flag (to be added in cli/flags.rs); and then it should be added to executable_args in cli/installer.rs::install function.

If this one isn't taken yet, I'm happy to hop on it!

[MarcHanin]

I forgot to say that I was going to take it but you can take it if you want since I'm not very familiar with rust

[shortdiv]

Thanks, didn't intend to step on your toes with this one!

[MarcHanin]

No you didn't step on my toes I didn't begin ! :smile:

$ deno repl --unstable
error: Found argument '--unstable' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

repl support would be cool too, if you're all on it

@shortdiv @MarcHanin Is anyone doing this, I need this feature urgently.

[MarcHanin]

If I'm not wrong @shortdiv is on it

Closed via #5061

[cdaringe]

should we open another ticket for deno repl or just keep this one open, generalized for backfilling --unstable support generally?

Please open another issue.
