Root with positional argument followed by subcommand with args

[harpratap]

This is kind of duplicate of #295 but not exactly. I am looking to have both positional args passed to root and also run subcommand at the same time. Both legacyArgs() and the new Args doesn't seem to let me have this type of syntax. For example, I have 3 environments that have different configs. My root command gets the env as positional arg followed by a subcommand, which is common to all envs but with different configs.
eg. root prod destroy my-python-app where prod is positional arg of root, destroy is a subcommand of root and my-python-app is arg of destroy

Alternative way to do this would be to have flags: root --env prod destroy my-python-app but I don't want to keep it so verbose because env is mandatory anyway.

Did you ever find a good way to do this? I'm looking to do much the same thing right now.

@elfchief Nope. Still using the alternative way I mentioned in the end using flags.

Due to age and activity I'm going to go ahead and close this.

Just as a point of discussion, I'm not sure that requiring --env makes it too verbose; it also makes it clear what the value means.

I think the core of this is really a duplicate of #726 as well seeing as how you express that you want to invoke root with args while then also executing another command afterwards. You can watch/contribute on that thread if you are interested in pursuing this.
