jclouds-cli does not support --identity and --credential arguments

[gaul]

The help string suggests using these but jclouds-karaf does not accept them. I also see no mention of them in commands/src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/blueprint/jclouds-commands.xml

[iocanel]

Both jclouds-karaf and jclouds-cli support these options:

For example: ./bin/jclouds node list --identity myidentity --credential mycredential --provider aws-ec2 works fine.

Also the options of a command do not have to be listed inside the blueprint descriptor. They are defined inside the class using annotations.

My guess is that the options were not put in the right order.

They are defined inside the class using annotations.

Do you mean something like BlobStoreCommandWithOptions?

@andrewgaul Could you give an example of the test case you tried that failed? Thanks!

[iocanel]

@demobox, exactly!

[gaul]

Sorry, user error. jclouds-cli requires arguments in a specific order:

jclouds category action --options arguments

This confused me; I had tried these permutations as well:

jclouds category action arguments --options jclouds --options category action arguments

[demobox]

Perhaps an explicit comment somewhere near Using the CLI such as "arguments are required in specific order"..?
