Missing value after --input

Error message

Missing value after --input

What it means

Thrown by parseTeamApiArgs when `--input` is the last token, so there is no following argument to parse as JSON. The CLI requires --input to be immediately followed by its JSON payload.

Solutions

1. Supply the JSON object right after --input: `omx team api <op> --input '{"team":"acme"}'`.
2. If generating the command in a script, guard that the input variable is non-empty before appending --input.
3. Alternatively use the `--input=<json>` form so the value is never a separate token.

Example fix

# before
omx team api create --input
# after
omx team api create --input '{"name":"acme"}'

const i = args.indexOf('--input');
if (i !== -1 && (i === args.length - 1 || args[i + 1].startsWith('--'))) {
  throw new Error('Missing value after --input');
}
// or prefer the --input=<json> form so a value can never be omitted

function hasInputValue(args: string[]): boolean {
  const i = args.indexOf('--input');
  return i === -1 || i + 1 < args.length;
}

try { await teamApi(args); } catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && e.message === 'Missing value after --input') { /* prompt for input or default to {} */ }
  else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: `omx team api <op> --input` with nothing after it, or a shell quoting mistake that drops the JSON argument.

Common situations: Building the command dynamically and the input variable is empty/unset, trailing-flag typos, or a truncated command line in a script.
