Another Install Probem: "fabric --help" fails

[joelontheroad]

I just install fabric and the install instructions say to test out the install by typing:

fabric ---help

When I do, I get this output:

usage: fabric [-h] [--text TEXT] [--copy] [--agents {trip_planner,ApiKeys}]
              [--output [OUTPUT]] [--stream] [--list] [--clear] [--update]
              [--pattern PATTERN] [--setup]
              [--changeDefaultModel CHANGEDEFAULTMODEL] [--model MODEL]
              [--listmodels] [--context]
fabric: error: argument --model/-m: expected one argument

What is this line telling me and what should I do to fix it?

fabric: error: argument --model/-m: expected one argument

I'm running Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS and installed fabric using @headbug's suggestions.

Thank you.

PS: Here's what fabric added to my .bashrc file:

There’s a problem with your zshrc. You probably pressed the space bar when setting up default model. Run fabric —clear

[joelontheroad]

Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately running "fabric --clear" doesn't solve the problem. What's odd is that get the same response no matter what parameter I pass with fabric. Eg:

fabric --help
fabric --listmodels
fabric --clear
fabric --update
etc.

all provide the same output:

usage: fabric [-h] [--text TEXT] [--copy] [--agents {trip_planner,ApiKeys}]
              [--output [OUTPUT]] [--stream] [--list] [--clear] [--update]
              [--pattern PATTERN] [--setup]
              [--changeDefaultModel CHANGEDEFAULTMODEL] [--model MODEL]
              [--listmodels] [--context]
fabric: error: argument --model/-m: expected one argument

Any other ideas?

[xssdoctor]

Go into your .bashrc or .zshrc and delete all of the fabric aliases. Then run setup.sh again. This was a bug in code I pushed the other day that I fixed yesterday. Sorry…

[joelontheroad]

That's it!

It worked.

Thank you.

Fabric installed correctly.
