Confluence CLI runFromCsv to export Spaces

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to use the runFromCsv action to export several spaces as explained in the dedicated How to page.

I tried several organization of CSV, each time, I'm getting a Parameter error saying that the function requires a non-blank value for parameter space.

Here is the CSV :

space, exportType, file
ACM, HTML, "C:\....\Confluence-space-export-ACM-20200228.html.zip"
ACM18, HTML, "C:\....\Confluence-space-export-ACM18-20200228.html.zip"

The terminal output shows a correct parsing for the exportType and file parameters, but the space parameter seems do be not parsed !!

Any idea or suggestion ?

Thank you

I realize this is 5 years late, but if it helps anyone else, that's a win.

I'm using runFromCSV to grant "editspace" permission to a senior leadership team. I noticed when parsing the error output that the permissions listed were in all caps, where if you look at the options in the ACLI UI, the permissions listed are in lowercase. Similarly, I checked my CSV and the spaces column was spelled with a capital S "Spaces". The error says that it can't accept a non-blank value for parameter "space", so I changed my CSV so the column name is now "spaces". Here's the command that worked:

-a runFromCsv --file "spaces.csv" --common "--action addPermissions --permissions "EDITSPACE" --group "seniorleadership"" --continue --debug

Seems like runFromCsv command doesn't accept a column "space".

Run acli with --simulate and the result will show --exportType and --file but not --space which make the command runFromCsv completely useless.

I tried multiple way to rename space like 'space' "space" SPACE or space with an S but nothing is working.

I just sent a bug report to Atlassian on this issue.

The article referencing this which doesn't work is
