According to the docs, specifying --raw should keep the zip file and not extract the data. However, it seems that raw isn't implemented yet. I checked files.js and it only contains a reference to raw when setting up the parameter.

I ran the following command:

dw files templates ./templates -fre --raw

Actual results
ZIP is downloaded, extracted to ./templates and then the zip is deleted

Expected results
ZIP is downloaded and not deleted. Files are not extracted to ./templates

When you follow the docs at https://github.com/dynamicweb/CLI on a machine without yargs you'll get an error when running the dw help command:

node:internal/errors:464
ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);

This can be fixed by running:

npm i yargs

Can this be added to the manual? More details here: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum?PID=1605&ThreadID=84233

When running dw without params, it return this:

Environment: dev
User: Administrator

Can that be expanded with the associated domain so you get:

Environment: dev
User: Administrator
Domain: www.somesite..com

I am trying to get the latest Swift files intro a folder containing a space. I execute this command:

dw swift "D:\Some Path" # Note the double quotes around the path

Expected results:
Files and folders are stored under "D:\Some Path"

Actual results:
Files and folders are stored under "D:\Some"

Tested against today's latest version of the CLI and DW 10 Alpha 8

The docs at https://github.com/dynamicweb/CLI describe the database command but don't explain the necessary permissions. I have a solution running with a SQL Server connection in integrated mode and when I execute the following command, I get an error:

dw database -e "D:\Backups"

The error is: Failed download, check users database permissions

Which permissions are needed to make this work?

It seems that the download option is not working or not doing the right thing. I am trying to export the entire system folder to a local folder.

This works:
dw files -l system #shows all first level folders under system
dw files -lf system #shows all first level folders under system and their direct files
dw files -lfr system #shows all folders and files recursively

However, these don't work:
dw files -fre system # doesn't download even though e is set. Error: No files found in directory 'system', if you want to download all folders recursively include the -r flag
dw files -fre system system #same as previous
dw files -fre system "D:\Some\system" #same as previous

It seems that -e with and without -r just doesn't seem to do anything

The docs at https://github.com/dynamicweb/CLI say that you can run this command:

dw files /templates ./templates

to download all files from a solution into a local templates folder. When I run this command, nothing happens.

Not sure if it's the docs at fault or the tool.

It seems a dw login for a user with a password including ! fails, not sure if it might apply to other characters as well.
