hammer cli showing incorrect error message
Description
- hammer subnet create --dhcp-id --domain-ids --gateway --network='66.4.74.0' --dns-secondary --dns-primary --from --name='bbr58uxg' --tftp-id --mask='255.255.255.0' --vlanid --to --dns-id
ERROR: option '--name' is required
See: 'hammer subnet create --help'
In the command above, error message is thrown although --name argument is passed

Maybe because some other arguments are missing? It might have interpreted "--name" as the argument to "--from" as no arg was supplied there.

This is failing because you are giving hammer unnecessary arguments that are not allowing it to parse --name.
If you give an argument --from, --dns-primary, etc... you need to fill them in otherwise the program will think whatever is after the qualifier ('--from' in this case) will be part of the argument ('--name').
Just make sure to include whichever arguments you want to pass, but not empty ones.
hammer subnet create --network='66.4.74.0' --name 'bbr58uxg' --mask='255.255.255.0'
would be the correct command for what you wrote above. I've tested it and it worked fine.

Thank you Daniel. This error is generated from our automation script. I will fix it to not pass empty arguments.
