Make a symfony/console command accept key=value arguments

Question

I want to use the Symfony console component to make a command like this:

app/console config:set someConfigName=someValue anotherConfig=anotherValue

I found this question: Variable number of options for symfony/console component

But it seems unmaintainable to hack ArgvInput and pass it to $app->run(). I'd have to also hack ArrayInput and StringInput, in order to do unit testing, and I'm not sure I'd be able to inject them in the test.

Any help appreciated.

This is some kind of [developer experience](http://symfony.com/blog/making-the-symfony-experience-exceptional) and is be worth to [create a feature request](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues?labels=DX&page=1&state=open) :) — Emii Khaos, Jun 21 '14 at 08:43

Feel kind of silly about this. :-)

Arguments are always a space-delimited string, and key=value looks like a space-delimited string. Explode the string with = as the delimiter, and you have the key and the value.

For exemplary implementation of this solution, check [LiberalFormatArgvInput](https://github.com/apigen/apigen/commit/c1747ba88767cc2be669702730d05589f7e9fb62) – Tomas Votruba Jan 02 '15 at 05:35

@TomášVotruba This is nice - consider a PR to Console Component? – calumbrodie Jan 26 '15 at 18:06
