Re: GNU Parallel Bug Reports [Bug] Expansion using --header fails on --return argument

[Nazgul]

Hi all,

a while ago I reported a problem (tracked here: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?45907 ), about arguments not being expanded for parameter --return. Today I am experiencing the same problem with the --basefile parameter. Would it be possible to have expansion on --basefile as well?

Example (not working):

touch helloworld.txt

parallel --sshlogin $REMOTE_HOST --basefile {} cat {} ::: helloworld.txt

I am running the latest monthly build:
$ parallel --version
GNU parallel 20151022
