Arguments are apparently not parsed correctly with respect to the doc

Dear colleagues,

Thank you for this long-awaited utiity.

I downloaded it to my Somona 14.0 Intel Mac today from Homebrew

% brew info imessage-exporter
==> imessage-exporter: stable 1.6.0 (bottled)
Command-line tool to export and inspect local iMessage database
https://github.com/ReagentX/imessage-exporter
/usr/local/Cellar/imessage-exporter/1.6.0 (7 files, 3.2MB) *
Poured from bottle using the formulae.brew.sh API on 2023-11-05 at 17:43:29
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/i/imessage-exporter.rb
License: GPL-3.0-only
==> Dependencies
Build: rust ✘
==> Analytics
install: 107 (30 days), 384 (90 days), 829 (365 days)
install-on-request: 107 (30 days), 384 (90 days), 829 (365 days)
build-error: 0 (30 days)

It works fine with the diagnostics argument:

% imessage-exporter --diagnostics
Building cache...
[1/4] Caching chats...
[2/4] Caching chatrooms...
[3/4] Caching participants...
[4/4] Caching reactions...
Cache built!

iMessage Database Diagnostics

Message diagnostic data:
Messages not associated with a chat: 80
Attachment diagnostic data:
Total attachments: 5
Total attachment data: 454.07 KB
Duplicated contacts: 1
Done!

However, there looks to be a problem in the parsing of the regular arguments. Or might I missed something?

% imessage-exporter --format txt

works fine, but not

% imessage-exporter --format txt --no-lazy
Invalid options!
Option no-lazy is enabled, which requires --format

[ReagentX]

This is working as intended, but the error message is incorrect:

imessage-exporter/imessage-exporter/src/app/options.rs

Lines 98 to 101 in 6eb170e

	if no_lazy && export_type != Some("html") {
	return Err(RuntimeError::InvalidOptions(format!(
	"Option {OPTION_DISABLE_LAZY_LOADING} is enabled, which requires `--{OPTION_EXPORT_TYPE}`"
	)));

You cannot use no-lazy with a txt export because text files can't embed data the way html can. I need to re-write the error message to reflect this.

Thanks for your quick reaction. Again, thanks for your awesome utility software. And congrats for the use of Rust! 🙂
