CLI does not want to take config parameters

[dstechenko]

Tried using CLI --config property, and it failed.

Version: 0.5.0-RC2
Integration: cli (homebrew - macOS)

typeless:master* λ scalafmt --config "style=defaultWithAlign"
Error: Option --config failed when given 'style=defaultWithAlign'. /Users/dmytro/Projects/typeless/style=defaultWithAlign (No such file or directory)
Try  for more information.

Thanks for reporting! I think this should work: scalafmt --config "\"style=defaultWithAlign\""

I agree this is unintuitive. It was supposed to work like you tried but it appears scopt drops the quotes. Maybe we should have a separate flag for passing in configuration as string, something like --config-str "style=...". WDYT?

@olafurpg yeah, that would be great!
