Hello,

the hypens-style is (or at least seems to be) Go specific, but actually there is flexibility in using one or two with any parameter type, like:

sipexer -v

sipexer --v

sipexer -version

sipexer --version

The help message is printed by a Golang internal function from the 'flag' package (the one that parsed cli params), respectively:

flag.PrintDefaults()

It lacks the ability to group many cli params for the same purpose (e.g., the short and long forms), there are other external go packages that can do it, but I preferred to go for the package offered directly by golang to avoid situation when external packages go unmaintained in the future.

Pull requests are welcome, of course!

Cheers,
Daniel

Daniel,
Thanks, now we have something between sipsak and sipp.
But just small clarification on CLI parameters format. I've noticed, that long and short version of parameter starting with single -(hyphen). Is it something go-specific, or it could be used in more-gnu way like single hyphen for short and double-hyphen for long?
As an example from help
  -co
        color output
  -color-message
        color SIP message output
  -color-output
        color output
  -com
        color SIP message output

And to add, support of ENV vars is a great idea! Now using separate docker images with CI/CD looks even better!
Many thanks for your work!

As an another testing suite example: https://github.com/igorolhovskiy/volts It's based on voip_patrol, but a bit reworked.  (Was about to make a presentation of it on next KWC, please count me in :) )
I'm thinking of expanding it with other SIP testing tools and sipexer looks nice from this point of view.

PS: For hyphen/double-hyphen I can try to prepare a PR, but not sure if it's not compatibility break with already possible existing pipelines somewhere.

Cool cool cool.

Certainly, but 90% of the various use-cases are covered by the invite scenario. Extensive compatibility with various CI tooling isn’t really required in my mind; as long as it can return positive or negative values depending on the outcome of the SIP request, it’s perfect.

The real value is in the fact that it’s a true CLI tool, and the ability to formulate misshapen requests using Go templates. That’s beautiful!

Another great thing is that you appear to have exposed your ad hoc SIP parser as a module, which means it could potentially be imported and used in other tools.
