TypeError - <argument/option name> is defined twice

Example Code

In main file: 

import typer 

app = typer.Typer()
app.add_typer(solr_cli.solr_app, name="solr")

... # main commands

In solr_cli.py:

import typer

solr_app = typer.Typer()

@solr_app.command("download")
def download(
    version: Annotated[
        str,
        typer.Option(
            "latest",
            "--version",
            help="The version of the Solr KG to download (latest, dev, or a specific version)",
        ),
    ] = "latest",
    overwrite: Annotated[
        bool,
        typer.Option(
            False,
            "--overwrite",
            help="Overwrite the existing Solr KG if it exists",
        ),
    ] = False,
):
    """Download the Monarch Solr KG."""
    ensure_solr(version, overwrite)   # util that uses pystow to download a file if missing
    raise typer.Exit()

... # other commands, none of which have version as an argument

Description

I have a primary CLI file, and a secondary solr_cli file with some sub-commands.

But when I run any command at all, I get:

TypeError: Name 'version' defined twice

This was apparently happening before the release of typer v0.12, when we were using 0.7 with typer-cli separate, but I can't pin down when it started happening or why

Operating System

Linux

Operating System Details

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble

Typer Version

0.12.3

Python Version

3.11.9

Additional Context

Related code with issue can be seen in cli.py and solr_cli.py of this repository

Some additional notes:

• If I don't do add_typer(solr_cli.solr_app) I'm able to run the commands defined in the main CLI file
• If I remove version as an argument to download(), I instead get:

AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'isidentifier'

It's possible this issue is with click itself and not typer, but given the first note above, I'm suspicious it has to do with how typer is constructing things to pass to click

TypeError: Name 'version' defined twice

[wstrydom-ebsco]

Whenever I use Annotated to define parameters to my command, the issue appears. When I don't, everything works fine.

[Renal-Of-Loon]

So I ended up here due to getting the same error. My issue was, however, completely different.

With the code

input_folder: str = typer.Option(
            None,
            "--input-folder",
            "in",
            help="Folder where ALL the reference data is present"
        ),

I get the error: TypeError: Name 'input_folder' defined twice

If I change the declaration "in" to "-in", the error is resolved. I'm not sure why the error displayed was so off-base.

[CrazyOlolosh]

Try removing the “default” values from typer.Option(). It should help.

@solr_app.command("download")
def download(
    version: Annotated[
        str,
        typer.Option(
            "--version",
            help="The version of the Solr KG to download (latest, dev, or a specific version)",
        ),
    ] = "latest",
    overwrite: Annotated[
        bool,
        typer.Option(
            "--overwrite",
            help="Overwrite the existing Solr KG if it exists",
        ),
    ] = False,
):
