Windows Terminal Version: 1.13.11432.0

Windows build number

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.708]

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Create profile named "u"
2. Run wt -p "u"; nt -p "u"
3. Error appear.
4. "--profile: 1 required TEST missing"

Expected Behavior

New windows terminal is created with two tabs

Actual Behavior

The error pops up and Windows Terminal never opens. Screenshot of the error https://prnt.sc/y4Hi3Uir5as9 I think profile name is too short(one sign). Profile name with more than one sign works like a charm.

@Andrew1988123123 that's an interesting find! If you add a space between first profile name and semicolon then it works.

Sample output with wt -p "u"; nt -p "u"

and wt -p "u" ; nt -p "u"

This works with empty names also, "name": null , so wt -p "" ; nt -p "" would open two tabs. Maybe schema should be updated from null to string

Huh. Maybe I'm splitting things poorly on the ;, it's really weird that adding a space would fix this. Command-line parsing is hard 🙃

No big deal. I just have to remember adding space before ; . Even documentation say so.
