bw list shows folders bw delete cannot remove about cli

[kspearrin]

Where are you seeing these folders? Just their ids within an item? Or using bw list folders? Any idea how to reproduce from my end?

[smsimeonov]

Well, this should produce the result:

bw sync --session $SK
$EF = bw list folders --search $FOLDER --session $SK
if ($EF -eq "[]") {
bw get template folder --session $SK | ForEach-Object {$_ -replace "Folder name", "$FOLDER"} | bw encode | bw create folder --session $SK
}
$TFID = bw list folders --search $FOLDER --session $SK | ConvertFrom-Json
foreach ($line in $TFID) {$FDS = $line.id}
bw delete folder $FDS
bw sync --session $SK

If it doesn't on the first run, it should on the second.

When I run bw list folders I only see real folders from my vault, which I also see in the web vault.

When you list these folders, what is their name? Are they old folders you used to have or what?

[smsimeonov]

Yeah, they're old folders I created with the cli and then removed via the web interface since I was just starting out on using the cli itself.

[kspearrin]

What if you log out and back into the CLI?

[smsimeonov]

Doing that seems to have fixed it.
Although ideally, I wouldn't have to do that since I'm trying to automate this through a script which executes remotely, so the less actions, the better.
Thanks for the quick responses by the way.

Hi smsimeonov,
We're cleaning up our repositories in preparation for a major reorganization. Issues from last year will be marked as stale and closed after two weeks. If you still need help, comment to let us know and we'll look into it.
Thanks!
