Help needed with JCLI error

Question

I want to copy versions between several projects (they all have the same versions). So I am trying to use the JCLI to do this. Howver I get the following errors and am now stuck. Can anyone help? The user login provided is for the sysadmin account. The following is from the cmd window:

C:\Program Files\jira-cli-2.6.0>
jira --action copyVersions --project "ABC" --toProject "ABC Test Project" --verbose

Server address: http://ia-jirasvr:8080/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2

I have the same .bat configuration, with the same error  message.

Confluence ver 1000.1035.0

C.L.I ver 6.2.0

Is there any update on this?

I really cant see whats wrong, I literally just edited the servername, usrname and password anyway here goes:

Incase its relevant its on a Win7 Box, 64 bit machine

Thanks.

@echo off
rem remember the directory path to this bat file
set dirPath=%~dp0

rem need to reverse windows names to posix names by changing \ to /
set dirPath=%dirPath:\=/%
rem remove blank at end of string
set dirPath=%dirPath:~0,-1%

rem - Customize for your installation, for instance yo might want to add default parameters like the following:
rem   java -jar "%dirPath%"/lib/jira-cli-2.6.0.jar --server http://my-server --user automation --password automation %*

java -jar "%dirPath%"/lib/jira-cli-2.6.0.jar --server http://ia-jirasvr:8080 --user automation --password aut0mat1on %*

java -jar "%dirPath%"/lib/jira-cli-2.6.0.jar %*

rem Exit with the correct error level.

echo ">>"
echo ">>jira.bat run completed"

EXIT /B %ERRORLEVEL%

My apologies, apparently a user id (username) can be created with a blank or other special characters :( . Supporting these will require a fix in the CLI. In the meantime use an id without blanks for special characters.

Regarding your error, you need to check your customization of the jira.bat command to ensure it is correct. If you don't see an obvious error, post it.
