"clab inspect <LAB Name>" from any directory

[tiago-amado]

it would be nice if we could inspect a specific lab from any dir in the system.
If we want to inspect a unique lab we need to move to the original lab directory. If we execute from other directory it will fail:
clab inspect

clab inspect from any dir

clab inspect from any dir other than the one with the .yml file fails

[root@Airframe3 ~]# clab inspect anysec-macsec 
Error: none or more than one topology files found, can't auto select one
[root@Airframe3 ~]# 

clab inspect from .yml directory

if we move to the .yml dir, the clab inspect works fine

[hellt]

@tiago-amado did you try clab inspect -t <path to the dir with clab file>?

[tiago-amado]

yes, but the idea was to get rid of the path and use only the Lab Name.
not sure if its something easy to deploy. the "clab inspect -a" shows the topo path, is there a way to use it?

[hellt]

yeah, we don't support inspecting the lab by its name at this moment I think

[tiago-amado]

hum... I've upgraded clab to 0.54.1 and now the output when I specify the yml file is showing all containers. should I raise an issue for this?

Yes, please. And do mention which release you had before the upgrade. I suspect this might be an issue introduced in 0.54.1 when we upgraded the docker API.

Also dump please the output of 'docker info'

[tiago-amado]

Will do.
Did a few tests an its working fine up to 0.52.0, and from 0.53.0 is not working.
