when logging in getting xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: must not undeclare prefix: line 2, column 0

[ejoynes]

I think this is the same issue as closed issue #156

INFO: Creating new session
INFO: must not undeclare prefix: line 2, column 0
Traceback (most recent call last):

xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: must not undeclare prefix: line 2, column 0

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Tableau Server Version: 2021.4.3 (20214.22.0108.1039) 64-bit Windows
tableauserverclient==0.19
tabcmd==2.0.5

Could you try downloading the newest version of tabcmd? It should be 2.0.7.

I think this error means you are getting a non-xml response, which usually points to a problem in your request. Can you share the command line you used? (make sure to remove any passwords or information that shouldn't be public).

[jacalata]

I've identified this in the underlying tsc library, and it will be fixed in the next release of that.

This is fixed in the february release, 2.0.11
