Original report (archived issue) by Jose Luis Rivero (Bitbucket: Jose Luis Rivero, GitHub: j-rivero).


We could improve the way of handling the -e or --physics option in the gzserver.

When passed an invalid value gazebo is starting with given any hint to the user about the fallback option taken or the error.

gazebo -e non_valid

For extra points, try to detect if the support for one of the physics engines is not implemented and don't allow the user to run the -e option with the unsupported physics engine.

If you do --verbose there will be an error message.

It could be improved though, currently we list all 4 physics engines as options in the --help message even if the other engines aren't installed.
