Description

Typing
$ ./isotovideo lsdjf

Only results in:
Can't open 'vars.json' for reading: 'No such file or directory' at qa/os-autoinst/bmwqemu.pm line 72
1672: EXIT 1

There is no warning that a command line parameter has been ignored, this is an issue with the following:
/isotovideo -d /tmp/vars.json

Intuitively I would expect /tmp/vars.json to be used as the test's parameters, instead it is ignored and the following message is returned
Can't open 'vars.json' for reading: 'No such file or directory' at qa/os-autoinst/bmwqemu.pm line 72
1734: EXIT 1

There are a number of possible actions, including:

  • A1, produce an error and help message on an unexpected command line argument
  • A2, treat the first command line argument (which does not start with '-') as the path to vars.json

Obviously A1 and A2 are not mutually exclusive.
