Using --auth when specifying --url causes authentication exception

[bull-sherwin-rajkumar]

Using the --auth argument to specify the user credentials when a custom elasticsearch url is already defined using the argument --url, an AuthenticationException arises.

Expected Behaviour

Makelogs should start generating events

Actual Behaviour

Makelogs throws an AuthenticationException.

$ makelogs --url https://localhost:9200  --auth user:password
unknown ping error StatusCodeError: Authentication Exception
    at respond (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@elastic/makelogs/node_modules/elasticsearch/src/lib/transport.js:349:15)
    at checkRespForFailure (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@elastic/makelogs/node_modules/elasticsearch/src/lib/transport.js:306:7)
    at HttpConnector.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@elastic/makelogs/node_modules/elasticsearch/src/lib/connectors/http.js:173:7)
    at IncomingMessage.wrapper (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@elastic/makelogs/node_modules/lodash/lodash.js:4991:19)
    at IncomingMessage.emit (node:events:529:35)
    at endReadableNT (node:internal/streams/readable:1400:12)
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:82:21) {
  status: 401,
  displayName: 'AuthenticationException',
  path: '/',
  query: {},
  body: false,
  statusCode: 401,
  response: '',
  wwwAuthenticateDirective: 'Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8", Bearer realm="security", ApiKey',
  toString: [Function (anonymous)],
  toJSON: [Function (anonymous)]
}

Workaround

Including the user credentials directly in the --url argument works fine in this case.

$ makelogs --url https://user:password@host:port
