Today I learned that you cannot pass negative integers as values to typer. in this case `context_settings={"ignore_unknown_options": True}` is required so that the `-` does not look like a flag. ``` python # script name: main.py import typer app = typer.Typer() @app.command() def failing(value: float): print(f"{value=}") @app.command( context_settings={"ignore_unknown_options": True} ) def working_good(value: float): print(f"{value=}") if __name__ == "__main__": app() ``` !!! note This post is a thought. It's a short note that I make about someone else's content online #thoughts
