Cannot set string property from Command Line

[tomasmanu]

Hi all!
I'm trying to pass a path to the Value property of String to start the workflow from CLI but it always throws me this error:
Excepción no controlada: System.ArgumentNullException: El valor no puede ser nulo. Nombre del parámetro: property en Bonsai.Configuration.PropertyAssignment.Parse(String property) en Bonsai.Program.<>c__DisplayClass20_0.<Main>b__13(String property) en Bonsai.Configuration.CommandLineParser.Parse(String[] args) en Bonsai.Program.Main(String[] args)

The line I'm using is the following:
bonsai for_batch_analysis.bonsai --start -p stringProperty="WIN_20230111_18_13_44_Pro (online-video-cutter.com).mp4"

How can I set the string property correctly?

I leave attached the workflow with the video for analysis:
using_command_line.zip

Did you attach the wrong workflow by any chance? I don't see any property named stringProperty in the workflow.

Nope, it doesn't work either. I tried Value and String and I always got the same error:
Excepción no controlada: System.ArgumentNullException: El valor no puede ser nulo. Nombre del parámetro: property en Bonsai.Configuration.PropertyAssignment.Parse(String property) en Bonsai.Program.<>c__DisplayClass20_0.<Main>b__13(String property) en Bonsai.Configuration.CommandLineParser.Parse(String[] args) en Bonsai.Program.Main(String[] args)

This is the ExternalizedProperty I want to change in the workflow:

What should I write in the command line?

bonsai for_batch_analysis.bonsai --start -p "Value"="test" seems to work on my machine.
As a side note, you should name your property something other than Value as that is one of the most common default property names.

Hi Bruno, I tried it but it didn't work either. However, I could make it work including : between -p and the property name, without any space, as Thomas Akam posted in the Google Group (https://groups.google.com/g/bonsai-users/c/cMQ1iIF_9NA/m/eavXE791BwAJ). Just like this:
bonsai for_batch_analysis.bonsai --start -p:"Value"="WIN_20230111_18_13_44_Pro (online-video-cutter.com).mp4"
I didn't know the two points and the lack of space between -p and the property name were necessary as they don't appear in the CLI doc (https://bonsai-rx.org/docs/articles/cli.html)

What bonsai version are you using? The parameter binding changed in >2.7

[tomasmanu]

Oh, that may be the problem... I'm using version 2.6.3. I haven't updated the version as I didn't want to cause errors in the workflows I'm using. I shall generate an environment for 2.6.3 version and download the newer one?
