can't invoke gnmic 0.5.0 without a config file

@karimra we have a regression in 0.5.0 it seems:

Is there a work-around so that I can get my client to work again, in the meantime, @hellt or @karimra?

Thanks.

Luke

@LukeCage, you can create a file ~/gnmic.yaml with address: router_addr:port and run gnmic without -a | --address you can also use any file name/location and reference it with gnmic --config /path/to/file when running your cmds.

Thanks, @hellt ...

That works. Please let me know when this bug is fixed.

Luke.

@LukeCage please try the newly released 0.5.1

Hi @helt,

So far, gnmic seems to working without the problem I sited last week but there is an inelegance in the display of "gnmic prompt" that did not exist before. After issuing a command and pressing enter, right after providing the credentials for the account and before the data is streamed, the prompt options are displayed.

This is disruptive to the display of information that is of value/importance and it interferes with the use of the screen size that is available to display the data. Never happened before.

The menu of options should not be displayed until the "gnmi prompt shell" is broken.

I have provided a screen shot for your review.

Thanks,

Luke.

@LukeCage I guess you mean @hellt , not @helt (thats me) :)

[LukeCage]

Sorry @helt. I beg your pardon ... Yes. I meant to reference @hellt.

@LukeCage can you open another issue to track this? as this is unrelated to the original issue topic. No need to rewrite the whole thing, just reference this issue. Thanks
