[Bug 1414122] Re: adt-run arguments are order dependent

[Martin Pitt]

As you can run several tests/packages with adt-run, *all* arguments that
specify tests are order dependent. It's been like that since day 1, and
I don't want to break backwards compatibility by disallowing to run more
than one package now.

> the documentation does not state they must be in a certain order

It does:

       --click-source clicksrc
              Path to click source tree for subsequent --click package.

       --click clickpkg
        [....]
       Run  click  package  tests  from  the  preceeding  --click-source.   [...]

Title:
  adt-run arguments are order dependent

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Some of the arguments to the adt-run command are dependent on
  position.

  Both of these incantations work as expected:

  adt-run . --click ../foo.click
  adt-run --click-source . --click ../foo.click

  However, this one does not:

  adt-run --click ../foo.click --click-source .

  There is no error about positional arguments, the documentation does
  not state they must be in a certain order, and other arguments are not
  dependent on position. Instead, the command continues and old tests
  get run. Please fix these arguments to also not be positional.
