Description
I’m getting no files ingested when I run butler ingest-raws, and lots of warnings. It is not obvious, short of reading the code, that adding -c failFast=True allows me to find where the problem is occurring. There is no equivalent of the old --show config mentioned in the --help.
Tim Jenness suggests (and I agree) that something like butler ingest-raws --fail-fast would be a better interface for this particular case, but I'm also concerned about the general problem of the user needing to know about any configuration parameters for the other butler sub-commands.
It's always a bit tricky to work out how much should come from configuration and how much should come from command line. When we are only talking about a handful of config parameters then a command line equivalent seems like the best approach. Command line supports the -@ option as well. I would guess that a config user is someone who is running the task itself.
