The old error "accepts 1 arg(s), received 0" was unclear. The new message explains that APP_NAME is required, shows usage, mentions the databricks.yml alternative, and suggests an app name inferred from the current directory.

Cover normal cases (app.yml, app.yaml, no config) and edge cases (deleted cwd) to verify graceful degradation. Co-authored-by: Isaac Signed-off-by: James Broadhead <jamesbroadhead@gmail.com>

- Check os.WriteFile error return values - Use t.Chdir() instead of manual os.Chdir + cleanup - Remove unnecessary testChdir helper Co-authored-by: Isaac Signed-off-by: James Broadhead <jamesbroadhead@gmail.com>
The shared zero-arg validator used by deploy/start/stop/delete printed a hardcoded "databricks apps deploy <hint>" suggestion and a generic "<command>" placeholder in the usage line, so users running `apps stop` without an APP_NAME were nudged toward `apps deploy` instead. - Thread the cobra command into missingAppNameError and render both the Usage line and the "Did you mean?" hint from cmd.CommandPath(). - Extend bundle_helpers_test.go with table-driven coverage that exercises deploy/start/stop/delete and asserts the hint matches the verb. - inferAppNameHint now requires app.yml/app.yaml to be a regular file, so a directory of that name no longer produces a bogus hint. - Regenerate the no-bundle-no-args acceptance fixture for the new message.

Reuse the shared missing-name validation for logs and render each command's documented positional argument name.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Reviewed the apps missing-name error changes and pushed a small follow-up to keep logs on the shared validation path and align NAME vs APP_NAME in the error text. Scoped validation passed locally: go test ./cmd/apps/... and ./task checks. No completed CI failures at approval time; a few longer-running jobs are still pending.
