TypedSayCommand does not accept the colon character

[p-hennessy]

Game: Team Fortress 2
Input in chat: !mapdl http://test.com/test.bsp
Code in question:

from commands.typed import TypedSayCommand

@TypedSayCommand('!mapdl')
def on_mapdl(command_info, map_url: str):
    print(map_url)

Error:

Too many arguments:
  !mapdl <map_url:str>

Works fine without the colon character. Not sure if this is just a parse issue or deliberately there? It also looks like it truncates everything after the colon, even if i did a *args: ('http', ':')

Have you tried passing the URL in quotation marks?

[p-hennessy]

Yes, single and double quotes are no dice.

It only appears to be when coming from chat commands; it works fine as a server console command (though that needs quotes)

[Ayuto]

Looks like we need to split the arguments on our own instead of relying on CCommand.

FWIW, the single quote doesn't seem to work either (dunno why anyone would want that, in my case I wanted a hidden command for godmode when people said I'M JOHN CENA in the chat, I settled on I AM JOHN CENA instead).

The Tokenize class I posted back in 2013 seems to have the desired outputs here: https://forums.sourcepython.com/viewtopic.php?p=1221#p1221

from re import compile

class Tokenize(list):
    _pattern = compile('"[^"]*"|[^ ]+')

    def __init__(self, given_string, comment_prefix=None):
        self.string = given_string

        for token_match in self._pattern.finditer(self.string):
            token_string = token_match.group()

            if comment_prefix and token_string.startswith(comment_prefix):
                self.string = self.string[:token_match.start()]
                break

            self.append(token_string.strip('"'))

    def __str__(self):
        return self.string

print(repr(Tokenize('!mapdl http://test.com/test.bsp')))

# Result:  ['!mapdl', 'http://test.com/test.bsp']

print(repr(Tokenize("I'M JOHN CENA")))

# Result: ["I'M", 'JOHN', 'CENA']

Le Québec invincible gagne encore! :-)

I'm going to try monkey-patching the standard Tokenize with your regexp and see if it doesn't break anything in my code.

If it works for everyone else, can we expect a PR from you, @invincibleqc ?

EDIT: Actually, can't seem to find Tokenize anywhere, at least not on the Python side, and I'm not quite sure what CCommand.Tokenize() refers to in the code... Could someone please give me a summary of the codepath for command parsing? Thanks in advance! Also FWIW I can't access the forum post you referenced, it's probably in an admin-only section or something?
