| Summary | 0002974: foamDictionary ignore -case switch | ||||
| Description | The foamDictionary command ignore the -case switch. In particular if both -case and -value command line option are used, the value should be considered relative to the case directory and not to the current working directory. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | export CASE=/home/ttocci/foam_case foamDictionary -case $CASE -disableFunctionEntries -entry numberOfSubdomains -value system/decomposeParDict In this case foamDictionary would try to open $PWD/system/decomposeParDict instead of $CASE/system/decomposeParDict | ||||

The -value option is not relevant here in itself. The file name is not an argument to the -value option. The issue is simply that: (1) foamDictionary takes a filename as an argument; (2) foamDictionary does not need to know anything about the case directory. This means the -case option is currently redundant. The following will work instead: foamDictionary -entry numberOfSubdomains -value $CASE/system/decomposeParDict On that basis, we could: 1) remove the -case option to avoid confusion; or, 2) include -case as a way to specify the filename by a relative path. The latter might be slightly beneficial for scripting, but has the disadvantage for general use that the TAB completion does not work with a relative path. |
