Wrong file generated

[ftomassetti]

If I run:

java -jar openvalidation.jar --culture en --language java
--rule "your age HAS to be greater than 22" --schema "{ age: 21 }" --output age_check.js
The file age_check.java is generated, therefore the output directive is not precisely respected, which is confusing to me

Yes, Federico, once again you're right. This parameter is not entirely clear.

The parameter --output(-o) actually defines the output directory. However, there is the parameter --single-file (-f) over it you can get all the generated code, which actually consists of 2 files: Implementation(Rule Set) and HUMLFramework in one single file. If the -f switch is set, then you can specify the name of this single file with -o. I know that it is not really cleanly implemented at this point. And we should definitely change it.

https://docs.openvalidation.io/openvalidation-cli#single-file
https://docs.openvalidation.io/openvalidation-cli#output

My suggestion is:

1. That we use the --output (-o) parameter to enter only the output directory. (it is not allowed to give file names with extension. we can validate it.)
2. the parameter --single-file (-f) should no longer be a switch(boolean), but a string parameter to specify the output name of the single file. If you do not specify anything, the default name (HUMLValidator.xxx) will be used.

what do you think about this?

it makes sense to me
