No error message produced by rtcontrol when querying for unknown field.

Hello,

I just noticed this issue in your fork of rtcontrol.

When I issued this command in the OG version of pyrocore's tools

rtcontrol name=Blah -o random_unknown_field
ERROR    Unknown field name 'random_unknown_field'

When I run this in pyrosimple, I get this.

rtcontrol name=Blah -o random_unknown_field
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise error.UserError(f"Unknown field name {name!r}")
pyrosimple.error.UserError: Unknown field name 'random_unkown_field'

Did I not install pyrosimple properly?

Thank you!

Is it causing you any specific problems, or more just surprise that it behaves differently? It's a fatal error message either way, but I intentionally allow that exception to bubble up, because catching all pyrosimple.error.UserErrors and logging them as just errors can make debugging some of the more uncommon problems harder.

Hello kannibalox,

It was more surprise that this bubbled up when I was trying some stuff out. But I get your thought process on letting this be. I will close this issue.

I am looking forward to integrating the pimp-my-box workflow with your tools now. Your toolkit is awesome and I am so glad you ported this to python3.

Thank you! g
