#1079 [RFE]: Improve consistency in input args, output display, etc., in ipa group-del
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago Opened 13 years ago by obriend.

This command fails, because the input args need to be space-separated:

ipa group-del group1,group2,group3

However, the output of a successful command doesn't reflect the input:

Deleted group "group1,group2,group3"

It would probably be easier to adjust the output message, e.g.,
Deleted the following groups: group1 group2 group3

Having the input argument parser sort out comma-separation, ignore white space, etc., might be more troublesome. The original error was along the lines of:

ipa: ERROR: doceditors\: group not found

Keeping all this consistent would improve usability no end.

The IPA CLI no longer relies on CSV parsing for multiple parameters like this. The arguments are space-delimited, so this works:

ipa group-del group1 group2 group3

Sigh, pressed enter too quickly. I see, the diff is the input vs the output.

In any case, the team has evaluated this bug and determined that it does not have the capacity to fix it
