How to use argparse.FileType?

[s3rgeym]

class Args(Tap):
    depth: int = 2  # max crawling depth
    visits_per_domain: int = 50  # limit visits per domain

    def configure(self) -> None:
        self.add_argument(
            "-i", "--input", help="site urls", default="-", type=argparse.FileType()
        )

❯ poetry run sqli-scanner

Hi @s3rgeym,

Thank you for bringing up this issue! It looks like this is a problem with deepcopy, which we use to enforce immutability of default values. We have moved deepcopy earlier in the pipeline, which avoids this error. (See these commits: 33e7c53 and 04357df). This fix will be included in the next release.

Best,
Kyle and Jesse
