Fixed In Version: wallaby-0.10.4-2
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Running "wallaby list-snapshots" resulted in a non-zero exit code, indicating failure, even when no snapshots existed in the store. With this update, the "wallaby list-snapshots" operation exits with an exit code of 0 (zero) if it does not find any snapshots, but otherwise succeeds, as expected.
