Description Lukas Zapletal 2011-07-26 09:55:38 UTC 
Description of problem:

Katello-cli does not accept any parameter with space in it

# katello provider import_manifest --org=ACME_Corporation --name "red hat" --file=...
Could not find provider [ red ] within organization [ ACME_Corporation ]

The same for --name="red hat".

This is the same for all other parameters that accept spaces.

5dc36b8 725684 - Katello-cli does not accept any parameter with space in it

Temporary solution not to use spaces in provider names, until we upgrade 
optparse to argparse.

no more "space" complains: 

seems issue is fixed. tried: katello-cli-0.1.10-1.git.212.1a8738d.el6.noarch
Comment 4 Lukas Zapletal 2011-09-20 08:43:44 UTC 
Well the bug is still there (on Fedora 15)
Comment 5 Ivan Necas 2011-09-20 11:33:32 UTC 
Finally probably found out the cause of the problem.

Lukas?

Do you use an alias script for calling the katello (to set up the PYTHONPATH, user etc.)?

If so, when using $* in bash, the original quotes are not used.

Using "$@" instead should work, e.g.

#!/bin/bash
katello -admin -p admin "$@"
