Users command fails due to extra arguments
editUsers command fails due to extra arguments
editSymptoms:
-
The
elasticsearch-users
command fails with the following message:ERROR: extra arguments [...] were provided
.
Resolution:
This error occurs when the elasticsearch-users
tool is parsing the input and
finds unexpected arguments. This can happen when there are special characters
used in some of the arguments. For example, on Windows systems the ,
character
is considered a parameter separator; in other words -r role1,role2
is
translated to -r role1 role2
and the elasticsearch-users
tool only
recognizes role1
as an expected parameter. The solution here is to quote the
parameter: -r "role1,role2"
.
