#706 closed defect (fixed)

Make --basedir a global option. — at Version 12

Reported by: nejucomo Owned by: davidsarah
Priority: minor Milestone: 1.8β
Component: code-frontend-cli Version: 1.4.1
Keywords: usability Cc:
Launchpad Bug:

Description (last modified by davidsarah)

Most commands operate on a specific node basedir, so making --basedir a global option would add consistency.

As it is, some commands, such as create-alias do not support a basedir other than the default.

If users want the cli to be strict/pedantic, subcommands which do not rely on --basedir might issue a warning when it is set. Otherwise ignoring it seems safe.

(Update: we actually changed -d/--node-directory to be the global option.)
