Command Line Configuration

[devyntk]

I'd love some command line (or config file) configuration to be able to done, at least for the API key and event ID, and preferably scoring system IP.

Arguments:
-skip-config : Skip Dialog asking for config file
-event-key=<toa_event_key> : TOA Event Key
-api-key=<toa_api_key> : TOA API Key
-scoring-ip=<scoring_ip> : IP address for scoring system
-scoring-event=<first_event_key> : Event Key from FIRST scoring system
-test-toa : attempt connection to TOA with given credentials
-test-first : attempt connection to Scoring System with given data
-load-first : attempt to load event from FIRST provided the IP was correct

I can probably take on this feature over the next few days (I really want this feature). It looks like the suggested arguments were specific to the old datasync tool and I am not sure if they are all relevant here. Also, since you are now using firebase credentials rather than API keys I am not sure the best way to handle that. If anyone has an idea how to handle this problem I would gladly hear it. If there is no better idea I'll just have -username and -password flags, but that feels wrong for some reason.

Flags I am thinking:

• -config=<config.json>: provide a config file that would have all these flags as fields
• -event-key=<toa_event_key>: the TOA Event Key
• -scoring-ip=<scoring_ip>: IP address of the score system
• -scoring-event=<first_event_key>: Event Key from the FIRST scoring system
• -username=<username>: TOA username
• -password=<password>: TOA password

If anyone disputes any of these flags or would like additional flags let me know.

Now that it is web-based this should either be closed or changed in scope to be an uploaded config file instead of command line arguments. Unless you want to pass them in as a query string which seems not very useful to me personally, and I refuse to pass a password as a query string since that is human readable to anyone watching network traffic.
