Has this issue been resolved? I work with a lot of students who use the command and the students using Apple OSs cannot update the command. Update does not seem to be a problem on PCs.

I am facing the same issue. Today, I tried to update but showed the error "varlist not allowed".

There are copy commands in _update_countrymetadata.ado, _update_regionmetadata.ado, _update_indicators.ado, and _update_wbopendata.ado that need the file path to be in quotes. Here's one:

wbopendata/src/_/_update_countrymetadata.ado

Line 383 in 025e43b

copy `tmp`variable'' `r(fn)' , replace

It should look like this:

copy  `tmp`variable''  "`r(fn)'" , replace
