Does the latest Box CLI v3.9.1 have an issue executing bulk commands


Hi Team,


The latest Box CLI v3.9.1 doesn’t recognize the file or folder id in CSV files, does anyone encounter the same issue.

Hi,


Can you narrow down the command your using, or even better can you paste the command you are having issues with?


Cheers

Hu @user711


Thanks, I think I see the issue.


Can you convert your id column to string, instead of numbers?


Cheers

Thanks for the feedback, I changed the column to text and still gives the same error.


Also I wanted to confirm that I am using the above excel sheet with Box/cli3.9.0 win32-x64 node-v14.19.3 and it works fine but the same excel sheet with Box/cli/3.9.1 win32-x64 node-v14.19.3 and it doesn’t work.

Hi @user711


The error you mentioned:


Missing 1 required arg:

id ID of the folder to add metadata to


I could reproduce on @box/cli/3.9.1 win32-x64 node-v14.19.3 only in case of incorrect header definition in the .csv file after I added an extra space after id ,template-key,data,as-user. But when I removed that space everything works fine again.


Can you open your file in plain notepad and make sure the header looks exactly like this:


id,template-key,data,as-user


, with no spaces or other characters between the fields?


Regards,

Artur
