Specifying configuration settings on the command line

You can override the following settings in configuration files by including them as command-line arguments to Workbench:

• input_dir
• input_csv
• google_sheets_gid
• log_file_path

In all cases, you need to add -- to conform with Python's command-line argument syntax.

For example, if you want to specify an input CSV file different from the one registered in your configuration file, include --input_csv as a command-line argument to Worbkench:

python workbench --config example.yml --input_csv alternate.csv

To specify a log file path, include --log_file_path as an argument:

python workbench --config example.yml --check --log_file_path custom_log_during_check.log
