Can't use CLI with a username with spaces in it

[Xlash]

Hi,

I can't log in using the CLI because the client doesn't accept a username with spaces in it. I have tried enclosing it in double quotes, escaping it etc. Nothing is working.

I am paying 7 dollars a month to be able to bot efficiently and have not gotten an answer about my name change in almost 3 weeks (name change thread).

Could someone please assist me?

Try surround the entire username:password part with quotations, not just the username. Just a hunch, wasnt able to find anything to help you out.

 

Is your account old? I think just about all accounts have emails for usernames now

 

Or are you talking about osbot username, which I think the first thing I mentioned might cover as well

Yes I mean OSBot username. I have tried every variation of quoting and escaping and it still crashes.

I'm getting "IllegalArgumentException" which is probably to say that it can't handle special characters correctly.

Edit: This is on Windows, on MacOS it goes through and gets to the login screen correctly.

Does replacing spaces with underscores _ work?

for Cli use a _ instead of the space.  So for me using -login Antonio_kala:password works

Underscore doesn't work either unfortunately.

Now this might sound degrading, but it happens to the best of us.

Did you get your password right?

It is due to longer username or incorrect credentials, have you tried using a throwaway osbot forum account with a shorter/no spaces username? (forgive me if it's against rules!)

Since making a new account is against the rules I need to get my username changed.

@Sebastian Danilsons I assume you got this name as your profile name because it was set with the sign up when you straight away bought VIP

 

@Maldesto That problem should really be fixed. When you signup and buy VIP straight away, the form asks for your name. Then your name is set as your username. That came unexpected to me and I assume to sebastian

Welcome to IPB, if there is a fix, I don't know and can't find out how. Anyone that registers and needs a name change can always pm us. It is only when you buy vip/sponsor from the registration.
