While trying to set my commands, I mistyped one of the config options. Now I keep getting the error and cannot find a way to reset the config or remove that setting. If there is a way to find out where the config file is being stored, I haven't seen it. My wgd is fubared until this is resolved :(.

What was the command you ran that caused the issue?

The config file is stored at $ENV{HOME}/.wgdevcfg

I meant to set the root and ran the following:

wgd config command.webgui_config /data/WebGUI

BTW, I couldn't find that path to the config file documented anywhere and because of the error, I couldn't re-set the value. I've fixed the erroneous entry by editing the config to be the name of the site. I now have wgdev working correctly.

Thanks,
William

This just got me as well. Had to hand edit ~/.wgdevcfg to fix it

There's a number of things that should be done that would help with this:

  1. Options pulled from the config file should probably be ignored if they are invalid.
  2. Commands that don't need a WebGUI root or config file should allow invalid root/config options to be specified.
  3. There should be an option to ignore the wgdevcfg file
  4. The documentation should be improved so that people don't make this error

I've started working on issue 6, which is the first step to doing #3. #1 and #2 are probably the most helpful things, but they are significantly harder to fix. sbaur suggested better examples for the documentation, so I'll work on that when I get a chance.
