Verified Solution[docker/cli] fix: restore os.Args after plugin completion and fix error return
Sponsored Content
### ROOT CAUSE
The issue stems from two problems in the plugin manager:
1. **Incorrect Error Handling**: The plugin stub was returning the wrong error variable (`err` instead of `perr`) when flag parsing failed, leading to incorrect error handling by callers.
2. **Unrestored `os.Args`**: The global `os.Args` was being modified during plugin execution but not restored, causing potential side effects in subsequent code that relies on the original command line arguments.
### CODE FIX
The fix involves two changes in `cli-plugins/manager/cobra.go`:
1. **Fix Error Return**: Replace the return statement at line 50 to return `perr` (the correct error variable) instead of `err`.
2. **Restore `os.Args`**: Use a `defer` statement to save and restore the original `os.Args` before and after plugin execution.
Here are the exact changes:
```go
// Line 50: Change the error return
return perr
```
```go
// Lines 63-66: Add code to save and restore os.Args
originalArgs := make([]string, len(os.Args))
copy(originalArgs, os.Args)
defer func() {
os.Args = originalArgs
}()
```
Additionally, update the tests in `cli-plugins/manager/cobra_test.go` to verify the fixes.
