Bike shed - feedback welcomed! We need to rethink our options
--files-not-found-behavior
and
--owners-not-found-behavior
with the Specs improvements •
--files-not-found-behavior
controls invalid globs in BUILD files, e.g.
sources
field. It's a good option, but too generic of a name •
--owners-not-found-behavior
needs to be removed • we need to add a dedicated option for when a CLI arg is for non-existent files, like
does-not-exist::
So my proposal: •
--nonexistent-build-file-globs
--nonexistent-cli-globs
Only
--nonexistent
is wonky

--invalid
feels too vague. It's only the behavior of path globs not existing
Dictionary says
missing
is a synonym, but imo that makes me think you left off the value entirely
c
--unknown-cli-args
.. ?

Oh that could work! •
--unknown-build-file-globs
--unknown-cli-globs

hehe yeah, this thread is one of the last blockers to the Specs project. I'm very motivated to get that over the finish line
