Getopts in bash script with sub-arguments

Question

I would like to be able to run a script like this ( with sub-arguments ): I need to be able to use short and long options

./myscript.sh -u myname --delete-config --delete-data

./myscript.sh -a myname ..........................

./myscript.sh -h

Actually i have :

OPTS=`getopt -o a?d:h?dd?dc? --long apps,delete:,delete-data,delete-config -n 'parse-options' -- "$@"`

if [ $? != 0 ] ; then echo "Failed parsing options." >&2 ; exit 1 ; fi

eval set -- "$OPTS"


while true; do
  case "$1" in
    -a | --apps ) 
        showHelp
        exit 0
        ;;
    -d | --delete ) 
        username="$2"
        echo $username
        shift 2
        echo "$1"
        echo "$2"
       
        # Here i can add argument to the command

        case "$1" in
            -dd | --delete-data ) 
                deleteData
                shift 1
                ;;
            -dc | --delete-config ) 
                deleteConfig
                shift 1
                ;;   
            * ) echo "Unexpected option: $1 - this should not happen."
                showHelp 
                break 
                ;;
        esac
        ;;
    -h | --help ) 
        showHelp 
        break 
        ;;
    -- ) shift; 
        break 
        ;;    
    * ) echo "Unexpected option: $1 - this should not happen."
        showHelp 
        break 
        ;;
  esac
done

The result of the script is :

--delete toto --delete-data --delete-config

toto

--delete-data

--delete-config

suppress en cours data

Unexpected option: --delete-config - this should not happen.

I don't understand what i'm making wrong with shift and getopts

Slightly different version :

#!/usr/bin/env bash

OPTS=`getopt -o a?d:h?dd?dc? --long apps,delete:,delete-data,delete-config -n 'parse-options' -- "$@"`

if [ $? != 0 ] ; then echo "Failed parsing options." >&2 ; exit 1 ; fi

eval set -- "$OPTS"


while test "$1" != --; do
  case "$1" in
    -a | --apps )
        showHelp
        exit 0
        ;;
    -d | --delete )
        username="$2"
        echo $username
        shift 2
        echo "$1"
        echo "$2"

        # Here i can add argument to the command

        while test "$1" != --; do
            case "$1" in
                -dd | --delete-data )
                    echo deleteData
                    shift 1
                    ;;
                -dc | --delete-config )
                    echo deleteConfig
                    shift 1
                    ;;
                * ) echo "Unexpected option: $1 - this should not happen."
                    showHelp
                    break
                    ;;
            esac
        done
        ;;
    -h | --help )
        showHelp
        break
        ;;
    -- ) shift;
        break
        ;;
    * ) echo "Unexpected option: $1 - this should not happen."
        showHelp
        break
        ;;
  esac
done
