ACL on kv （in k8s） -> Too many arguments (expected 1, got 2)

Consul
1

Hi,

I open the ACL on the server and client. In the client, I am trying to get the kv in the server with token:
consul kv get mysql -token=testtoken

However, I get this:

Too many arguments (expected 1, got 2)

Am I missing anything here?

Thanks

Hi @cheyuxuanll,

The correct syntax for consul kv get is documented in the help output for the CLI command, and on the website at https://www.consul.io/commands/kv/get#usage.

$ consul kv get --help
Usage: consul kv get [options] [KEY_OR_PREFIX]
…

The options need to be specified before the key you are attempting to retrieve. In your particular scenario, the correct command syntax would be:

$ consul kv get -token=testtoken mysql

I hope this helps.
