Command line parameters not working in actual source code version at least in portable version

[swtrse]

Version: Current source code version on day 2020-01-23
What: build-wine as stated in the documentation using the docker image. Compilation did succeed and 3 executables are created. When starting the executeables the wallet is showing up and everything works fine.
Defect: At least in the portable.exe (I did not thest the other ones) the command line parameters do not work.
setconfig <configparameter> <value>: Got compleatly ignored -> config not changed/created
deamon stop: Got compleatly ignored
deamon: Seems to work

the command daemon stop does not exist anymore in 4.0. you should just use stop instead
concerning setconfig, I guess you might have set a similarly deprecated value

[swtrse]

I strongly hope that rpcuser, rpcpassword and rpcport are not deprecated.
As a workaround I now edit the config file directly before starting the daemon.

[SomberNight]

The issue with setconfig is that you now need to give it the -o option to work (without a running daemon).

The other (kind of off-topic) issue is that by default the Windows binaries do not give any user-feedback (they do not print to stdout/stderr) (see #2592).

console=False)

With console=True, I get:

> .\electrum-3.3.8-1456-ge35cfb1ef-portable.exe setconfig autoconnect False
Daemon not running; try 'electrum daemon -d'
To run this command without a daemon, use --offline
> .\electrum-3.3.8-1456-ge35cfb1ef-portable.exe -o setconfig autoconnect False
true

Would be nice having the portable version support commandline parameters....
