[Syncevolution-issues] [Bug 23783] command line: make config+source optional

https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23783 --- Comment #1 from pohly <patrick.ohly(a)intel.com&gt; 2011-11-21 20:15:44 UTC --- Initial solution on "pohly" branch: commit d9f7dff97d29d1d1d5de4c6596a48480ae34d064 Author: Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)intel.com&gt; Date: Mon Nov 21 17:38:34 2011 +0100 command line: config and source names are optional (BMC #23783) The need to add "foo" and "bar" pseudo config and source names to the command line even when all parameters for the operation where explicitly specified on the command line was confusing. Now it is possible to invoke item operations without the config and source name. Names which refer to non-existent configs are still accepted, as in previous releases. Typos are handled better by producing a detailed error report which includes (as applicable): - config doesn't exist - source doesn't exist or not selected - backend property not set This error report is created only if SyncSource was unable to create a SyncSource, which is detected by catching the status exception with the right error code. Trying to anticipate the error at the Cmdline level would duplicate code found in the SyncSource and/or impose limitations which might not hold in all cases. Because luids used to be positional arguments after <config> and <source>, a new --luids keyword is necessary to indicate that the following parameters are luids and not <config> and <source>. Added a CmdlineTest::testItemOperations for this new command line syntax. It uses the file backend to run some real operations (missing earlier). Error reporting in the command line uses the same mix of writing error messages and returning early (Cmdline) and throwing exceptions (rest of SyncEvolution). Perhaps the Cmdline class should also use exceptions - but not now. -------- Product: SyncEvolution Component: SyncEvolution MeeGo Release: unspecified Severity: enhancement Priority: Medium Keywords: Status: ASSIGNED Who: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com Assigned To: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com Target Build: --- Flags: Changed: -------- https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23783 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.meego.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
