Bug Description
innobackupex --history /tmp/
innobackupex: Error: You must specify the backup directory.
Or:
innobackupex --password /tmp/
innobackupex: Error: You must specify the backup directory.
The problem is that Getopt::Long allows both "--option=value" and "--option value". So in the above cases "/tmp/" is parsed as a value for the corresponding options.
Not sure if there's a way to fix that. The workaround is to not put such options right before the directory name. I.e. the following works as expected:
innobackupex /tmp --password
innobackupex --password --stream=tar /tmp
| summary: |
- innobackupex does not accept an empty argument to --history + innobackupex may fail when an option with optional arguments has no + value |
