error message following the openwhisk tutorial

Question

problems at step 3 of tutorial:

copied and pasted command:

wsk action invoke --blocking --result hello --param name 'Bernie' --param place 'Washington, DC'

get error:

←[31merror: ←[0mInvalid argument(s): DC'. An action name is required.
Run 'wsk --help' for usage.

running the previous steps of tutorial were fine

Is this using Windows by any change? – markusthoemmes Oct 05 '16 at 13:01 — markusthoemmes, Oct 05 '16 at 13:01

It's detecting the comma ',' in your place parameter. Try using "Washington, DC" in double quotes.

Right you are. This is even a known bug, already filed here: https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk/issues/1291 – markusthoemmes Oct 05 '16 at 13:03
