### BDD route selection

`rstest-bdd` steps execute in the generated test-harness process. A behavioural
label therefore does not make a step a subprocess test. Issue #492 removes the
BDD suite's process-global environment/CWD guard and records two allowed routes:

- **Route A — isolated child.** An end-to-end scenario invokes `netsuke` with
`assert_cmd`, clears the child environment, and supplies only the required
values through `Command::env`.
- **Route B — injected environment.** A scenario calls an in-process library
entry point with its injected environment and retains assertions over values
such as `Cli`, `Manifest`, `BuildGraph`, or rendered output.

Route B avoids CWD changes by passing absolute manifest or configuration paths,
or by preserving `-C/--directory` as a CLI value for automatic project
discovery. An explicit relative `--config` or `NETSUKE_CONFIG` selector remains
relative to the child or harness process CWD; it is not rebased under `-C`.

controlled reuse.

only that child with `Command::env`.
- Route B calls a library entry point with its injected environment and keeps
assertions on in-process values such as `Cli`, `Manifest`, or `BuildGraph`.

Make the missing selector unique and assert the missing-file failure.

Generate the selector name from the temporary directory name. Assert the expected
missing-file error. The fixed filename can exist in the Cargo process working
directory. A malformed colliding file makes first_error().is_some() pass even
when discovery incorrectly loads from the process working directory.

Clap Rust derive parser short option attached value -Cpathlong option--directory=path duplicate option behaviour OsString non UTF-8

💡 Result:

In the clap Rust crate, the handling of duplicate options, argument values, and non-UTF-8 OsString types works as follows: Duplicate Option Behaviour: If you define multiple arguments with the same short or long option flag using the derive interface, clap will panic at runtime in debug mode to warn you of the conflict [1]. The derive macros do not currently produce a compile-time error for duplicate flags [1]. It is recommended to run a test that calls Command::debug_assert to catch these issues in your CI/CD pipeline [2]. Parsing OsString and Non-UTF-8 Values: By default, clap often attempts to parse arguments as standard strings [3]. To handle paths or values that may contain non-UTF-8 sequences, you must explicitly tell clap to use OsString parsing [3]. In the derive interface, you can achieve this by using the value_parser attribute with the from_os_str helper [3]: #[arg(short = 'C', long = "directory", value_parser = clap::value_parser!(std::ffi::OsString))] path: std::ffi::OsString, This ensures that the input is captured as an OsString, which is natively capable of representing non-UTF-8 sequences as they exist on the host operating system [4][5]. General Usage Note: When using attributes like #[arg(short = 'C', long = "directory")] on a field, clap maps these to the underlying Command builder configuration [2][6]. If you provide both an attached value (e.g., -Cpath) and a long option (e.g., --directory=path), these are treated as defined by the argument's configuration. If the same argument is intended to support both forms, simply specifying both short and long in the #[arg(...)] attribute is sufficient [6]. Clap will handle the parsing of both -C value and --directory=value automatically [6].

🌐 Web query:

clap Rust ArgAction::Set repeated option same argument cannot be used multiple times error

💡 Result:

In the clap crate, using ArgAction::Set (or other default actions) on an argument that is provided multiple times results in an ArgumentConflict error because clap, by default, expects an argument to be used only once [1][2]. To resolve this, you have two primary options depending on your desired behavior: 1. Allow the argument to be used multiple times and override previous values (the last one wins): You can enable this behavior by setting.args_override_self(true) on your Command definition [3]. Example using the derive API: #[derive(Parser)] #[command(args_override_self = true)] struct Args { #[arg(short, long)] flag: String, } 2. Allow the argument to be used multiple times and collect all provided values: If you want to keep all occurrences rather than overriding, use ArgAction::Append instead of ArgAction::Set [2][4]. Example using the builder API: Arg::new("flag").long("flag").action(clap::ArgAction::Append) When using ArgAction::Append, clap will store all provided values for that argument in a list, which you can retrieve using get_many [2][4].
