Unable To Export CSV Data Using Tabcmd 2.0 Through Proxy
Published: 15 May 2023 Last Modified Date: 21 Aug 2023
Issue
When running tabcmd 2.0, proxy settings specified with the --proxy flag are not enabled.
Environment
Tableau Cloud
tabcmd 2.0
Windows
Resolution
The functionality was added in tabcmd v2.0.12 and newer. To fix this issue, please use the correct version available on Github.
If tabcmd v2.0.12 and newer can not be used immediately, the following workaround is available to temporarily mitigate the issue:
Set http_proxy, and https_proxy environmental variables.
Click the Windows Start button and type in: env
From the search results, select 'Edit the system environment variables'.
In the System Properties dialog, click 'Environment Variables'.
In the Environment Variables dialog, under User variables, configure the following as required (If more than one value is specified, values should be separated by commas):
http_proxy
https_proxy
no_proxy (if necessary)
Click OK to close the dialogs.
Restart the command prompt and run the tabcmd export command.
Cause
tabcmd 2.0 does not support the "--proxy" argument prior to tabcmd v2.0.12.
