[EP-tech] CLI Import


Hi folks,


I have created a import plugin which uses the eprints/bin/import command


http://wiki.eprints.org/w/API:bin/import


and have 2 problems with it.


1. in the doc it says you can pass arguments to the plugin by


          --argument key=value


this doesn't seem to be implemented in version EPrints 3.2.2 (Chocolate Cake)


2. the return value of the plugin seems to get hidden by the import command. If I test the return value of the import command in a shell script it seems to return success no matter what.


Is there any other way to pass in parameters to the plugin and any way to get the success/failure of the plugin back out.


Any thoughts appreciated.


Thanks,


Ray.
