cellranger count: bad argument handling #9

Closed cschu closed 4 years ago

cschu commented 6 years ago

Would it be possible to issue warnings when unknown/mistyped command line parameters are used? v2.1.1 just silently does nothing in such a case (typed --samples instead of --sample, wasted a lot of time, could be handled better by an argument handler checking the arguments)

Hi @cschu, yes this would be a good idea! The problem is caused by the library docopt we use for argument parsing, which may be removed in a future version. Thank you for the feedback.
