Installation problem : pserve Exception: Missing global configuration file

[vloux]

Dear biomaj developers, we try to install biomaj-watcher by following the instructions in README.md

We finally got to the point where we try to start the server. We have edited the development.ini file to point it to our biomaj3 global.properties . At startup pserve raise the following error :

(biomaj-watcher-042017) [banko@banko3 biomaj-watcher]$ pserve - development.ini

Exception: Missing global configuration file 

Have we missed a specific configuration step ?
Best regards

Hi,

I think you've got an unexpected hyphen '-' argument on your command line pserve - development.ini Maybe this is the problem?

Hi, thanks for your answer. Sorry , it was a copy-paste mistake. There is no hyphen in the command-line. Here is the right output for the command

biomaj-watcher reads some config from file config.yml, located in current directory or specified via BIOMAJ_CONFIG env variable.

path to global .properties must be specified both in config.yml and development/production.ini

That was it ! Thanks
