Cannot set "--registry_address"

[averrin]

root@f6f37458c0a8:/go# micro list services --registry "consul" --registry_address "consul:8500"
Incorrect Usage.

NAME:
micro list services - List services in registry

USAGE:
micro list services [arguments...]

OR ignore it:

root@f6f37458c0a8:/go# micro --registry "consul" --registry_address "consul:8500" list services
Get http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/catalog/services: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8500: getsockopt: connection refused

even from env

root@f6f37458c0a8:/go# env | grep MICRO
MICRO_REGISTRY_ADDRESS=consul:8500
MICRO_REGISTRY=consul
root@f6f37458c0a8:/go# micro list services
Get http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/catalog/services: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8500: getsockopt: connection refused

but

server --registry "consul" --registry_address "consul:8500"

works

Micro is a command line executable that has sub commands whereas the server binary does not. The expectation is that global flags such as registry and registry_address be set after execution of the binary and any further commands. So your second method of use micro --registry "consul" --registry_address "consul:8500" list services is correct.

[averrin]

so
micro --registry "consul" --registry_address "consul:8500" list services

ignore it=(

[asim]

Indeed. Sorry if there's any confusion. I can update the docs to make it more clear.

[averrin]

But how i can force new registry_address ?

root@f6f37458c0a8:/go# micro --registry "consul" --registry_address "consul:8500" list services
Get http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/catalog/services: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8500: getsockopt: connection refused

Why micro still trying 127.0.0.1?

[asim]

Ah yea I see what you're saying. It's a bug. I'm looking at it now. Give me a few minutes.

[asim]

Ok this should be fixed. Please try again and let me know.

[averrin]

yeah, now works. thanks!

[asim]

No worries. Thanks for trying out micro!
