Traceback with delete subcommand when no archive is given

[witten]

Have you checked borgbackup docs, FAQ, and open GitHub issues?

Yes.

Is this a BUG / ISSUE report or a QUESTION?

BUG

System information. For client/server mode post info for both machines.

Your borg version (borg -V).

2.0.0b8

Operating system (distribution) and version.

Manjaro Linux stable 24.0.2

Hardware / network configuration, and filesystems used.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1, no network usage, ext4

How much data is handled by borg?

~1.2 GB

Full borg commandline that lead to the problem (leave away excludes and passwords)

Run a delete command on a repository containing an archive:

# /root/borg2b8 delete --debug --show-rc --repo 2.0.borg

(I realize it's probably a problem that no archive is specified on the command-line.)

Describe the problem you're observing.

The delete command results in a traceback.

Can you reproduce the problem? If so, describe how. If not, describe troubleshooting steps you took before opening the issue.

Reproduction steps involve creating a new repo and then creating an archive in it. Contents don't seem to matter.

# /root/borg2b8 rcreate -e keyfile-blake2-aes-ocb --repo 2.0.borg
...
# /root/borg2b8 create --repo 2.0.borg myarchive /root/tmp

Then run the delete command above.

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the system logs

[ThomasWaldmann]

Yeah, that shouldn't result in a traceback.

But of course one needs to give an archive name for delete as in contrary to borg 1.x that command is only intended for deleting archives (the command to delete a whole repo is rdelete in borg2).

[witten]

Yup, understood.
