An empty argument and all subsequent arguments are dropped #2234
Description
My urfave/cli version is
v3.6.0
Checklist
- Are you running the latest v3 release? ish. Issue still exists in v3.6.1
- Did you check the manual for your release?
- Did you perform a search about this problem?
Describe the bug
An empty arg and all subsequent arguments get dropped.
i.e. if I have a command line like the following, "" and everything following are dropped
$ command subcommand -f=something "" arg2 arg3
gets treated as
$ command subcommand -f=something
To reproduce
Any c.Run(ctx, []string{"command", "", "arg2"}) or similar will reproduce.
Observed behavior
commands with an empty argument misbehave or fail entirely.
Expected behavior
I would expect the arguments to include the empty argument and all following arguments.
