When I run an Erlang function using IntelliJ's "Run Configuration", I am getting the following error message. The error message contains lot of nested brackets. Please help me in understanding the message.

Right click on a function in a .erl file and click on "Run ."
The error message consists of Error code and Stack trace.
Error code is badarg. Please refer to
Exit Reasons for the list of error code.
The stack trace contains one entry for each function call. Each call
provides file name, function name, line number. For example,
{init,start_em,1,[{file,"init.erl"},{line,1220}]} indicates that
init.erl is the file, start_em is the function and 1220 is line #.
After manual indentation, we could better visualize the stacktrace as follows.
{badarg,[
{ets,select,[ct_attributes,[_]],[{_}]},
{ct_config,get_key_from_name,1,[{_},{_}]},
{ct_util,does_connection_exist,3,[{_},{_}]},
{ct_gen_conn,do_start,4,[{_},{_}]},
{ct_netconfc,open,4,[{_},{_}]},
{erl_eval,do_apply,7,[{_},{_}]},
{init,start_it,1,[{_},{_}]},
{init,start_em,1,[{_},{_}]}

I need to be able to read in a path file from my simple_switch.py application.I have added the following code to my simple_switch.py in python.
LOG = logging.getLogger(__name__)
CONF = cfg.CONF
CONF.register_cli_opts([
cfg.StrOpt('path-file', default='test.txt',
help='path-file')
])
I attempt to start the application as follows.
bin/ryu-manager --observe-links --path-file test.txt ryu/app/simple_switch.py
However I get the following error.

ryu-manager: error: unrecognized arguments: --path-file
It does look like I need to register a new command line option somewhere before I can use it.Can some-one point out to me how to do that? Also can someone explain how to access the file(text.txt) inside the program?
You're on the right track, however the CONF entry that you are creating actually needs to be loaded before your app is loaded, otherwise ryu-manager has no way of knowing it exists!
The file you are looking for is flags.py, under the ryu directory of the source tree (or under the root installation directory).
This is how the ryu/tests/switch/tester.py Ryu app defines it's own arguments, so you might use that as your reference:
CONF.register_cli_opts([
# tests/switch/tester
cfg.StrOpt('target', default='0000000000000001', help='target sw dp-id'),
cfg.StrOpt('tester', default='0000000000000002', help='tester sw dp-id'),
cfg.StrOpt('dir', default='ryu/tests/switch/of13',
help='test files directory')
], group='test-switch')
Following this format, the CONF.register_cli_opts takes an array of config types exactly as you have done it (see ryu/cfg.py for the different types available).
You'll notice that when you run the ryu-manager help, i.e.
ryu-manager --help
the list that comes up is sorted by application (e.g. the group of arguments under 'test-switch options'). For that reason, you will want to specify a group name for your set of commands.
Now let us say that you used the group name 'my-app' and have an argument named 'path-file' in that group, the command line argument will be --my-app-path-file (this can get a little long), while you can access it in your application like this:
from ryu import cfg
CONF = cfg.CONF
path_file = CONF['my-app']['path_file']
Note the use of dash versus the use of underscores.
Cheers!
