Bad error message when trying to use `hz schema save` #762

Closed mlucy closed 8 years ago

mlucy commented 8 years ago

After hz serve, I tried to run hz schema save in the same directory, and I got this error:

error: rethinkdb stderr: Directory 'rethinkdb_data' is already in use, perhaps another instance of rethinkdb is using it.
RethinkDB process terminated with error code 1.

What I needed to do was pass -c localhost:<port horizon printed on startup>, but the error message didn't do a good job of leading me toward that.

We should probably also consider dumping the currently running host/port into a file or something when hz serve starts so that commands like hz schema save can just work.

This looks like a duplicate of #720.
