doit dumpdb fails when non default db name is used

See original GitHub issue

dumpdb does not take dep_file configuration into account because it does not read (or require a dodo.py). It would be better to use dep_file information if available.

Original report:


.doit.delayed.db file exists.

$ ./delayed.py dumpdb
DBM type is 'None'
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/doit-0.29.0-py2.7.egg/doit/cmd_base.py", line 122, in parse_execute
    return self.execute(params, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/doit-0.29.0-py2.7.egg/doit/cmd_dumpdb.py", line 51, in execute

The dumpdb should print the name of the database file that it’s reading from, not just the type of the database.

So maybe you should create another ticket for this.

I would accept a patch where dumpdb reads a dodo.py and get the value of file_dep, but it must still be able to work without a dodo.py file.

Done (#183). If I have some time at some point in the near future, I might look into making such a pull request.
