cli.setApp('package.json') installed globally #54
Description
Hello,
In order to have properly read the package.json, when the cli app is installed globally I have to reference the package.json this way. better solutions appreciated.
var path = require('path');
var cli = require('cli');
var theFolder = path.dirname(require.main.filename);
var theFile = path.resolve(theFolder + '/../package.json');
cli.setApp(theFile);
Ciao

One way is
That said, that's only better in that it’s a one-liner.
This actually is also true if cli is installed as a local package. The documentation seems to imply that the default behavior of
appname --versionwould return the appname's version. But in fact you get cli's version, not your appname. You end up explicitly defining the app's package as above.@chriso Is this intended behavior? If so, an update to the docs to make this a little clearer would be useful.
