CLI also shows helpful information, when normally error: No config file found would be thrown.

In trying to wrap my head around using the Lume CLI

• Help and version commands cli#1
• Remove CLI interface #232
• Make CLI Commands more independent #34

I am trying to get help by the CLI about how it can be used, but it always complains, because I'm not in a project directory.

$ [[ $PWD = $HOME ]]; echo $? 
0
$ deno task lume -h
error: No config file found
$ lume -h          
error: No config file found

I should be able to get help, also when I'm not in a project directory.

This is caused by the init.ts script registering lume as a task in deno.json, as opposed to creating an executable in some directory on your $PATH. E.g. assuming you have $HOME/.local/bin on your $PATH then you could create ~/.local/bin/lume with:

deno run -A https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts "$@"

(and mark it as executable with chmod +x ~/.local/bin/lume) which would let you run lume in any directory.

The disadvantage of this approach is that then:

• the used lume version is no longer specified in your project directory, which usually is a good idea since it ideally makes your build reproducible
• the barrier is higher for other contributors (but that might not apply for personal projects) ... if you still have the task in deno.json they might end up using a different lume version than you, if you use your own executable
