Ineffective Output Filtering Using 'charmcraft help --all | grep revision' Command
Metadata
Current evaluation
charmcraft help --all writes help text to stderr, so piping to grep fails to filter. Maintainer logged it upstream in craft-cli; upstream issue closed without code fix, charmcraft issue remains open awaiting decision.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Maintainer @lengau acknowledged the issue and logged it upstream in craft-cli (canonical/craft-cli#273), with an internal Jira ticket CRAFT-3356 also created. The root cause is clearly identified as help output going to stderr rather than stdout, but the upstream issue was closed without a code fix, so the charmcraft issue remains a valid, triaged bug awaiting an upstream decision.
