Everything is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

[Oleh]

I'm trying to update the user and nothing seems to work:

# gam update user our...@email.address suspended on

ERROR: on is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

# gam update user our...@email.address suspended 1

ERROR: 1 is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

# gam update user our...@email.address suspended true

ERROR: true is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

 

# gam update user our...@email.address suspended yes

ERROR: yes is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

When I do 

gam info user our...@email.address

it shows the user info, but I cannot update it.

Similar error is for updating the name, for example:

# gam update user our...@email.address firstname Testname suspended yes

ERROR: Testname is not a valid argument for "gam update user"

What it could be and why? 

# gam version

GAM 4.94 - https://git.io/gam

I suspect something about how you are running the commands or quoting them is wrong. It appears GAM is not seeing the "suspended" argument or may be seeing it as part of the user email address. Are you copy / pasting these commands or parts of these commands and if so can you try running them by manually typing everything in?

To test Jay's theory, cd to the directory containing the gam executable, then do: ./gam update user our...@email.address suspended on

What does this show: alias gam

Hi Jay,

>  It appears GAM is not seeing the "suspended" argument or may be seeing it as part of the user email address.

Thank you, I tried again, but this time I typed everything and it worked! It looks like I copied the email with some symbol that looks like a space but is not actually a space :-/ It's clearly visible when I run:

# gam update user our...@email.address suspended suspended on

updating user our...@email.address suspended...

ERROR: 404: Resource Not Found: userKey - userNotFound

Kevin,

Both Standard and Advanced Gam accept the following for Boolean values:

true_values = ['on', 'yes', 'enabled', 'true', '1']

false_values = ['off', 'no', 'disabled', 'false', '0']

A good example of principle of least astonishment, Ross. 

I didn't read the code, just guessed the other 'true' values correctly :)
