Unexpected argument

The command line has a word the command has no use for. statac build and statac check take one word, the site’s folder, and statac explain takes one name.

What you’ll see

error  Unexpected argument: `docs`
  Did you mean `--site=docs`?
  More: https://statac.dev/e/unexpected-argument/

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac stops

Statac can’t tell what the word was meant to do, and leaving it out could build a different site from the one you meant.

How to fix it

Remove the word, or give it as an option.

Example

statac build docs public

To build the site in docs into public:

statac build docs --out=public

Its name

Name	unexpected-argument
In the terminal	statac explain unexpected-argument
To stop showing it	It stops the build, so it can't be quietened.
