Error: no such option: --non_interactive

[n0price]

I would like to generate the seed phrase non interactively, but I get the error Error: no such option: --non_interactive, as well the --mnemonic_language seems to not work tried English, english, 3 but still asking interactively for the language

cmd

docker run -it --rm -v ./app:/app/ ethereum/staking-deposit-cli new-mnemonic --mnemonic_language=english --chain holesky --execution_address 0x18E83a5a2c47a85103fffffffffffff --folder=/app/validator_keys --non_interactive

First off, you didn't specify which version of the tool you're using, please include that.

There are several issues with your command i think.

1. Order matters: staking-deposit-cli [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]. You need to provide both options, thus: staking-deposit-cli --language English --non_interactive new-mnemonic and then the args.
2. The execution_address you provide is of an incorrect format. While it is valid hexadecimal, it's of the incorrect length; it should be 42 characters (including the 0x prefix).
3. Not providing --num_validators. This should be a positive integer greater than 0.
4. Not providing --keystore_password. This must be of at least length 8.

I ran this as a test:
staking-deposit-cli-v2.7.0 --language English --non_interactive new-mnemonic --mnemonic_language english --chain mainnet --eth1_withdrawal_address 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 --folder ./tmp/derp --num_validators 1 --keystore_password aaaaaaaa

However, in testing, even with --non_interactive, the tool still requires confirmation of the mnemonic by typing it back. I don't have time to dig deeper and figure out if this is intentional or can be avoided somehow. You could perhaps automate it with a tool like expect, but that seems not entirely ideal either. Alternatively, you could use Trezor's python-mnemonic. If you pass the mnemonic it generates (first save the mnemonic to a file, read it back in from the file to ensure you have it saved) you can then use it to generate the keystore and deposit data using the existing-mnemonic command. I've tested this and got that working.

Thanks, number 2 is in purpose to not share the address :-)
