passing options to iterate command

[christiancueto]

Just a quick question, I used to be able to run the following:

ember exam:iterate 3 --options '---split 24 --parallel --random' but since upgrading to v0.6.2 I get the following error:

The option '--split 24 --parallel --random' is not registered with the exam:iterate command. Run `ember exam:iterate --help` for a list of supported options.

I just wanted to know if this was updated & what would be the correct way to pass these options to the iterate command.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing changed within ember-exam itself that would cause that to happen. Is it an actual error or just a warning? Meaning, does the command still run correctly even after the message?

I suspect this is due to a change in the however Ember-CLI parses arguments.

@trentmwillis The command does not run correctly from what I am seeing. When I try and run the command provided in the description, it does not partition the tests on each iteration.

Okay, I'll try to take a look at it this weekend and see if I can figure out what happened.

We determined that a bump of nopt caused the change, and are reverting to the older version.

I do want to suggest changing the way this works though 😛 . Instead of --options as a string that contains options I'd suggest something similar to what ember-try does to allow the exact command to be specified (but obviously choose a sensible default):

ember exam:iterate 3 -- ember exam --split 24 --parallel --random

Okay, so this was a bug upstream. That said, I agree with the change @rwjblue has suggested here.

FYI - The upstream bug should have been fixed with ember-cli > 2.12.3.
