Passing Vectors arguments to the CLI

[yahya010]

Hello,
I am trying to pass a vector as the argument into a function that is called by CLI, but I am getting this error. Do you know how I can do that?
Function:

static string ReadReg = "ReadReg";
auto callReadReg = [](std::ostream& out, const std::vector <uint32_t> &regAddr, double wv) {
    for(int i=0; i < regAddr.size(); i++){
            std::cout << regAddr.at(i) << ' ';
    }

Error:

error: ‘Name’ is not a member of ‘cli::TypeDesc<std::vector<unsigned int> >’
  760 |             out << " " << TypeDesc< typename std::decay<P>::type >::Name();

@yahya010 currently cli only supports basic types and a vector of strings.
So, you can't use std::vector<uint32_t>.
You have two alternatives:

• if you have a fixed number of uint32_t parameters, you can explicit each argument
• if you have a variable number of uint32_t, you can use astd::vector<std::string> and in your handle, you must convert each string into a uint32_t using e.g., stoul

However, soon cli will be able to manage user defined types. See this issue #69
