stats gives a stoping error

[EthraZa]

borg create: error: argument -n/--dry-run: not allowed with argument -s/--stats

It could be a warning, but an error is a bit of overreact, I guess.

borg version?

[ThomasWaldmann]

This is from current 1.1-maint code:

        if getattr(args, 'stats', False) and getattr(args, 'dry_run', False):
            # the data needed for --stats is not computed when using --dry-run, so we can't do it.
            # for ease of scripting, we just ignore --stats when given with --dry-run.
            logger.warning("Ignoring --stats. It is not supported when using --dry-run.")
            args.stats = False

[EthraZa]

Yep, it's the latest 1.1.14.
It's not being ignored, it's giving up in error.

[ThomasWaldmann]

Huh, that is strange. Do we deal at different places in borg code with that stuff?

The current 1.1-maint code is not very different from 1.1.14 release code...

Can you give the full borg command?

[ThomasWaldmann]

It's a bug, borg aborts when parsing args as they are defined in a mutually exclusive group.

Note: the --filter=AME does not give any output when used with --dry-run, because status will be -.
