Error when using --frontmatter-fields

[axwax]

Hi,
when I try to use the Frontmatter fields option the script halts with an error.

How to reproduce:

As per the example in the instructions I am running
npx wordpress-export-to-markdown --frontmatter-fields=title,date,categories,tags,coverImage,draft

Result:
Something went wrong, execution halted early. Could not find a frontmatter getter named "title date categories tags coverImage draft".

Any idea what I might be doing wrong, or what could be wrong?

Huh, no idea, you've got me stumped. I tried to repro on Windows and Mac and couldn't get that error.

What OS and terminal app are you using? Also can you tell me what version of npm/node you're on (npm -v and node -v)?

Can you try with quotes and see if it works, like this:

npx wordpress-export-to-markdown --frontmatter-fields="title,date,categories,tags,coverImage,draft"

I'm using Windows 10 with PowerShell 7.4.7, npm 11.3.0 and node 22.13.1

I've just tried enclosing the whole string as you suggested and it works! (when I played around earlier I had only tried enclosing each field before, which didn't work)

Thanks so much for the workaround and the super quick response!

the Readme (at least now) also shows the quoting -
so this is fixed !?
@axwax if so please close it :-)

@s-light, I can't find quotes in the example in the Readme.

fixed by #172

No worries - I shall close this now!
