Fail on invalid command-line options

[eduardopiairo]

Hello,

I was applying a set of migrations using Flyway Command-line. I wanted to use the option -target to specify the target version because a had more scripts (to migrate in future). However, when i wrote the option i wrote it wrong: "flyway -targte=20150326 migrate" and all scripts were migrated (it wasn't wat i wanted).

Wrong options shouldn't permite execute commands. In situations like this an error could be printed to user in order to correct it. In other words, options should be validated.

Thanks,
Eduardo Piairo

Hi Eduardo,

yes, I fully agree fail-fast is preferable here.

I turned this into a warning instead of an error due to potential compatibility issues with people using flyway.conf between multiple tools
