complainig about nexar even though it is excluded

[mxa]

I run kicost like so: kicost --exclude nexar newark --eda kicad --currency EUR -i file.xml but it still complains about it

WARNING:(WC017) Can't enable Nexar without a `client_id`, `client_secret` and `cache_path` (kicost.distributors - api_nexar.py:209)
ERROR:Unknown distributor requested: `nexar` [Known: ['digikey', 'mouser', 'farnell', 'newark', 'tme']] (kicost - __main__.py:451)

the whole nexar section is commented out in the config.yaml

I don't understand why you want to exclude nexar if the whole section is commented. Uncomment it, or just don't exclude it.
