After much time processing the input got an ugly stacktrace with "Invalid Argument" - should fail fast instead

[anibal2j]

I have a folder with 33 mp4 files. I issued this command:

tesla_dashcam --source . --output new

Thinking that new would be a new folder created with the output. After processing all the files I got the following:

Anibals-MacBook-Air-2:2019-04-03_11-46-47 anibal$ tesla_dashcam --source . --output new

I suggest doing some more processing in the input parameters to see if it's going to work or not. I had to wait about 10 minutes before it failed. I'm still not clear what's wrong, since I can see the new mp4 files created.

[ehendrix23]

Definitely do not have the latest version. Grab the latest version from here:
https://github.com/ehendrix23/tesla_dashcam/releases/download/v0.1.8/tesla_dashcam.dmg

In the mean time I'll see to simulate what you provided for command. :-)

[ehendrix23]

FYI, I just tested similar to what you provided with the new version:
tesla_dashcam --output new .
executing from within the folder that contains the video files and it worked. So please get the latest version and try again.
Let me know if it worked or not. :-)

[anibal2j]

Yes, worked well. Looks good now.
