That is precisely the sort of logic we want to avoid baking into our CLI. Strings of error messages are not an API, and that treats it like one.
I find this “closing the issue” behavior across the entire OpenShift ecosystem very weird. The OP is never communicated as to what exactly is wrong, the discussions are not really transparent and public, the communication is not clear and defaulting to closing the issue is actually very unwelcoming for a community to build. I explained my use case, what is wrong with the use case? Is the suggested behavior suggested not correct? Why is it not correct? Encouraging incorrect user behavior/output due to implementation details and ignoring feedback is not the best way to lead a project IMO. Maybe just me! 🤷♂️
