The cmd version prints help text twice

See original GitHub issue

I modified the cmd version’s target framework like this:

<TargetFrameworks>netcoreapp3.1;net6.0;net6.0-windows</TargetFrameworks>

Then I build them with:

dotnet publish -c Release --self-contained true -r win-x64 -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract=true -o ./publish --framework net6.0-windows

After that, I have two executables. However, when I run sqlstresscmd.exe --help, I got this:

C:\repo\SqlQueryStress\src\publish>sqlstresscmd.exe --help

It seems that the cmd version prints help text twice. Am I missed anything? Thanks.

I am not at my computer for a couple of days, will check then. Could be a bug in the implementation of the help flow, yes.

Maybe you have the Net tool install and run both - it looks like the tool is called twice

What do you mean by the “Net tool”? I used Microsoft sysinternals tool procmon to monitor the process sqlstresscmd.exe, and I only found one Process Start and one Process Exit (still with the help info printed twice). So it’s not possible that it was called twice. When you run the command with --help, did you get the help info twice?
