Bulk CSV processing not working in Big Sur/zsh?

[Jinglan Yao]

Hello,

I'm trying to bulk add contacts from a csv to a specific user's contacts list and add them to a label. I'm using the following command:

gam csv <path to file.csv> gam user <username> create contact firstname "'~firstname'" lastname "'~lastname'" email work "'~email'" primary contactgroup "'Group'"

First zsh tries a correction:

zsh: correct 'gam' to '.gam' [nyae]?

When I choose "no", I get the error:

ERROR: Invalid choice (/users/<username>/bin/gamadv-xtd3/gam): Expected <gam>

Is this a bug or did I do something dumb?

Thanks!

Add the following line to ~/.zshrc

alias gam="/users/<username>/bin/gamadv-xtd3/gam"

Then do:

source ~/.zshrc

Then do:

gam info domain

Is everything working?

Thanks for the quick reply. 

Sorry, I should have specified that I've added the alias to ~/.zshrc and gam works for everything else. For example, I'm able to add a single contact to a specific user like so:

gam user <username> create contact email work "<email address>" primary contactgroup "Group"

It looks like zsh is trying to interpret the second gam which is just a keyword; try:

gam csv <path to file.csv> "gam" user <username> create contact firstname "~firstname" lastname "~lastname" email work "~email" primary contactgroup "Group"

Thanks, Ross!

That worked and you pointed me to what I think was the problem. I don't remember why but I had originally set the gam alias as a global alias.

Thanks again!
