Specifying configuration settings on the command line

You can define some configuration settings by including them as command-line arguments to Workbench. If the command-line setting exists in your configuration file, it will override the value in the file; if it doesn't exist in your configuration file, it is added to the configuration as if it were in the config file. The settings available as command-line arguements are:

• input_dir
• input_csv
• google_sheets_gid
• log_file_path
• rollback_csv_file_path
• rollback_config_file_path
• csv_start_row
• csv_stop_row

In all cases, you need to prepend the setting with -- 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
