Example Code

import typer


def main(name: str):
    typer.echo(f"Hello {name}")

if __name__ == "__main__":

    app = typer.Typer()
    app.command()(main)
    app(windows_expand_args=False)

    # typer.run(main)

Description

Currently it is impossible to globally disable windows_expand_args option implemented in click, the only solution I found is the code above. I found this feature quite questionable, since it can expand arbitrary string even if it was encapsulated in quotation marks or special characters were escaped.

one common example is invoking app with --name "local/path/*" where my argument gets expanded to a list of paths containing all of the files.

Since this behaviour is completely unexpected and difficult to track down, I think it is at least worth mentioning in the documentation of typer, even better if it was possible to disable it.

I agree, I was also catched off-guard by this. I simply had list[str] that was not a path, but * were expanded (to empty strings).
