Add clarity for error on missing management paramater. #657

Closed Samg381 closed 9 months ago

Samg381 commented 9 months ago

Configuration files located in config-auto require a management parameter to be declared. I added an additional line of detail in the error message to this effect. This error has historically caused confusion, and this additional messaging will clarify the fact that a management interface is required to resolve the error.

Linking #656

+1 to improving this message, but wording could be better: What about "Attaching to auto-started connections require --management option in the config file" or something similar that conveys that this is necessary only if controlling via the GUI is desired.

Agreed and updated.
