Description Pavel Moravec 2020-11-01 09:31:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Backport request to RHEL8 of a fix of https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/2285. Another particular example:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-4.0-2


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. sosreport -z aaa
2. sosreport --all-log=on
3. sosreport --blah


Actual results:
1. and 2. fails with badly formatting error:

# sosreport -z aaa
Please note the 'sosreport' command has been deprecated in favor of the new 'sos' command, E.G. 'sos report'.
Redirecting to 'sos report -z aaa'
usage: sos report [options]
sosreport <component> [options]

Available components:
	report, rep                   Collect files and command output in an archive
	clean, cleaner, mask          Obfuscate sensitive networking information in a report
	collect, collector            Collect an sos report from multiple nodes simultaneously report: error: argument -z/--compression-type: invalid choice: 'aaa' (choose from 'auto', 'gzip', 'xz')
#

3. provides well formatted error.



Expected results:
1. and 2. to provide error message formatted like 3.
2. to ideally support --all-log=on, likewise putting the option=value to config file

I can self-verify it works properly:

# rpm -q sos
sos-4.1-1.el8.noarch
#
# sosreport -z aaa
Please note the 'sosreport' command has been deprecated in favor of the new 'sos' command, E.G. 'sos report'.
Redirecting to 'sos report -z aaa'
usage: sos report [options]
sos report: error: argument -z/--compression-type: invalid choice: 'aaa' (choose from 'auto', 'gzip', 'xz')
#
# sosreport --all-log=on
Please note the 'sosreport' command has been deprecated in favor of the new 'sos' command, E.G. 'sos report'.
Redirecting to 'sos report --all-log=on'
usage: sos report [options]
sos report: error: argument --all-logs: ignored explicit argument 'on'
#
# sosreport --blah
Please note the 'sosreport' command has been deprecated in favor of the new 'sos' command, E.G. 'sos report'.
Redirecting to 'sos report --blah'
usage: sosreport <component> [options]

Available components:
	report, rep                   Collect files and command output in an archive
	clean, cleaner, mask          Obfuscate sensitive networking information in a report
	collect, collector            Collect an sos report from multiple nodes simultaneously
