Description

I tried "npm install -g pouchdb-dump-cli" and that installs pouchdb-dump but:

pouchdb-dump http://abcd.cloudant.com/master -u abcd -p XXXXX -o MasterDump.txt -s 10000 I am sure the password is RIGHT! RETURNS: {"error":"unauthorized","reason":"Name or password is incorrect"} unexpected error { [unauthorized: Name or password is incorrect.] status: 401, name: 'unauthorized', message: 'Name or password is incorrect.', error: true, reason: 'Name or password is incorrect' }

Alternately, I tried: pouchdb-dump http://abcd:XXXXX@abcd.cloudant.com/master -o MasterDump.txt

RETURNS: unexpected error { [Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND rts rts:80] status: 400 } Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND rts rts:80 at onError (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pouchdb-dump-cli/node_modules/pouchdb/lib/index.js:2599:18) at Request._callback (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pouchdb-dump-cli/node_modules/pouchdb/lib/index.js:2640:14) at self.callback (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pouchdb-dump-cli/node_modules/pouchdb/node_modules/request/request.js:200:22) at emitOne (events.js:77:13) at Request.emit (events.js:169:7) at Request.onRequestError (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pouchdb-dump-cli/node_modules/pouchdb/node_modules/request/request.js:831:8) at emitOne (events.js:77:13) at ClientRequest.emit (events.js:169:7) at Socket.socketErrorListener (_http_client.js:267:9) at emitOne (events.js:77:13)

It creates empty MasterDump.txt file. Please help.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the CLI passes credentials to PouchDB, especially the URL or basic auth header. Check if the password is URL encoded or if there's an encoding mismatch (e.g., special characters not percent encoded). Look at the code that parses the u/ p flags and constructs the request.
