Unknown option

The command line gives an option the command doesn’t take. Either Statac has no option by that name, or it belongs to another command.

What you’ll see

error  Unknown option: `--sight=docs`
  Did you mean `--site=docs`?

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

Why Statac stops

Leaving the option out would do something other than what you asked. When an option is close to what you wrote, Statac offers it.

How to fix it

Use an option the command takes, written with two hyphens and its value after an =. --help after the command, as statac check --help, lists the options that command takes; statac --help lists every option.

Example

statac check --out=public

--out says where statac build writes the site, and check writes nothing. To write the site to public:

statac build --out=public

statac serve shows drafts and posts waiting for their day without being asked, so it has no --drafts; statac serve --no-drafts leaves them out.

Its name

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