Mbed-cli: mbed export -h missing description of parameter (-n)

Created on 20 Jul 2016  路  3Comments  路  Source: ARMmbed/mbed-cli

The help for export does not list -n which is extremely useful because it allows the user to define a specific name for the exported project - otherwise it comes out as "Unnamed_Project".

Actually, I think that specifically naming the project should be required.

C:\xxx>mbed-cli --version
0.8.5

C:\xxx>mbed export -h
usage: mbed export [-h] -i IDE [-m MCU] [--source SOURCE] [-c] [-S] [-v] [-vv]

Generate IDE project files for the current program.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i IDE, --ide IDE IDE to create project files for. Example: UVISION4,
UVISION5, GCC_ARM, IAR, COIDE
-m MCU, --mcu MCU Export for target MCU. Example: K64F, NUCLEO_F401RE,
NRF51822...
--source SOURCE Source directory. Default: . (current dir)
-c, --clean Clean the build directory before compiling
-S, --supported Shows supported matrix of targets and toolchains
-v, --verbose Verbose diagnostic output
-vv, --very_verbose Very verbose diagnostic output

C:\xxx>mbed export -m NCS36510 -i uvision -n blinky

Successful exports:

  • NCS36510::uvision C:\xxxx\mbed-os\core.build\export\blinky_uvision_NCS36510.zip
bug in progress

@screamerbg @0xc0170 At this time, exporting a project results in Unnamed_Project... Highly recommend that the exported project assumes the name of the application or test that is in the directory that the export call is made from.

The flag won't be introduced because -n was temporarily changed in project.py. Now the default behavior is restored. @sg- @0xc0170

What's the default behavior ? What's the project name when exporting? I don't remember -n being changed. I could not locate anything in the git log, please provide a reference
