Invalid multiaddr error on windows

[OwlWilderness]

Wondering if this would be appropriate in the quickstart readme or somewhere else. I can also create an issue on the open aea repo - I was looking into a bit but realized I need to do a bit more learning first and wanted to document the work around. Thanks.

Troubleshooting

Error: Invalid multiaddr

Running the init prepends an incorrect value to the ipfs_repo on windows

autonomy init --reset --author valory --remote --ipfs --ipfs-node "/dns/registry.autonolas.tech/tcp/443/https"

Navigate to your users .aea folder and open the cli.config.yamal file

 C:\Users\<user_name>\.aea\cli_config.yaml

Verify ipfs_node value = /dns/registry.autonolas.tech/tcp/443/https

I think the problem is with the argument parsing on git console, I wrote following script to check this

import sys

print (sys.argv)

Running this with the multiaddr argument produces

$ py par.py  "/dns/registry.autonolas.tech/tcp/443/https" "/eh"
['temp/par.py', 'C:/Program Files/Git/dns/registry.autonolas.tech/tcp/443/https', 'C:/Program Files/Git/eh']

And running the same on console produces

(open-aea) C:\Users\Admin\valory\open-aea>py par.py  "/dns/registry.autonolas.tech/tcp/443/https" "/eh"
['temp/par.py', '/dns/registry.autonolas.tech/tcp/443/https', '/eh']

Can you try and run

autonomy init --reset --author valory --remote --ipfs --ipfs-node "/dns/registry.autonolas.tech/tcp/443/https"
