Summary of Changes

Hello @doringeman, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on enhancing the user experience for the docker model launch command. It introduces a more informative error message when the command is executed without the necessary arguments, guiding users on correct usage and available options.

Highlights

  • Improved Error Messaging: The error message for the docker model launch command when required arguments are missing has been significantly improved. Instead of a generic message, users will now receive a detailed message including usage instructions.
  • Custom Argument Validation: The standard cobra.MinimumNArgs validation has been replaced with a custom requireMinArgs function. This new function allows for more descriptive and user-friendly error output, enhancing the command-line experience.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • cmd/cli/commands/launch.go
    • Replaced cobra.MinimumNArgs(1) with requireMinArgs(1, "launch", "APP [-- APP_ARGS...]") to provide a custom, more detailed error message when the docker model launch command is invoked without the required application argument.
Activity
  • The author, doringeman, created this pull request to address an improvement in error messaging.
  • The pull request description includes a 'CC @denyszhak' indicating a request for review or attention from denyszhak.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • Instead of hardcoding "launch" and the usage string in the requireMinArgs call, consider deriving these from the command (e.g., cmd.Use or a shared constant) to avoid duplication and keep the error message in sync if the command usage changes.

Code Review

This pull request significantly improves the user experience by providing a more informative error message when the docker model launch command is invoked without the required arguments. Replacing cobra.MinimumNArgs with the custom requireMinArgs function allows for a detailed usage message, including the command's syntax and a reference to the help documentation. This is a great enhancement for usability.
