Bug found

[Dieter Van Eessen]

Hello,

bumped on problem when using the command 'xonsh --rc <file1> <file2>'.

The behavior i expect is to use <file1> as RC file and <file2> as file. Instead I get both <file1> and <file2> to be used as RC files.
The argument parser accepts multiple files as  RC file, don't know if this is the intended behavior or not?

For the moment using a dirty solution: modified xonsh.main.premain
line 286 'elif args.rc:' and replaced it with 'if args.rc:' and now using 'xonsh --rc <file1> --no-rc <file2>' as a temp fix

Are you allowing multiple RC's on purpose or is this minor bug in the argument parser?

kind regards,
Dieter

Hi Dieter, 

Thanks for bringing this up!  This is, in fact, the intended behavior. We do support multiple RC files, and by default we have:

scopatz@artemis ~/xonsh master $ $XONSHRC

EnvPath(

['/etc/xonshrc',

 '/home/scopatz/.config/xonsh/rc.xsh',

 '/home/scopatz/.xonshrc']

)

However, I believe that if you want to run a file with an rc, you can run:

xonsh <file-to-run> --rc <rc-file>

I hope this helps!

Be Well

Anthony

thanks for the reply.
It's a bit counter-intuitive :) mostly shell commandline are formatted <command> <options> <file>

Have you considered the format 'xonsh --rc <rcfile1> --rc <rcfile2> <file>' (issue has been solved before:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7529856/retrieving-multiple-arguments-for-a-single-option-using-getopts-in-bash )

Just an idea, don't know how well pythons' argparse supports this...

kind regards,

Dieter
