Much as I love kcat (🤫 it’ll always be kafkacat to me…), this morning I nearly fell out with it 👇
😖 I thought I was going stir crazy, after listing topics on a broker and seeing topics from a different broker.
😵💫 WTF 😵💫
Turns out that the ~/.config.kcat.conf I created last week and was so proud to thinking to do takes 🚨PRIORITY🚨 over any CLI arguments provided.
So I was merrily telling it with CLI flag -b to use broker X and it was merrily listing topics from broker Y that’s specified in the config file.
I still like the config file idea (@Kris Jenkins wrote a nice blog article about it here: I just need to remember about it next time 🤦
