Problem: The --include option is predominantly used for finding jobs on specific hosts. This implies that the -A option is set (i.e.
filter on all user jobs) but it is currently not. This can be confusing to users wondering why --include isn't finding any jobs running on specific hosts.
Solution: If the user did not specify filtering on a specific user with --user, then assume all user jobs (i.e. -A or --user=all) will be checked when --include is specified.
side note, the 1 tricky part was how to tell if the user specified
--user=X
on the command line so we didn't assume "-A" when--include
was specified. I setup a new filter action that sets a argparse flag "filtereduser". There were probably other ways of doing this, but went with this approach.
