can't create labels from commandline with color code

[mfs12]

Hey,

trying to create labels from commandline with

gitlab create_label mygroup/scb abc '#001100'

unfortunately this fails with

Server responded with code 400, message: 'color' must be a valid color code. Request URI: https://git.plugintheworld.com/api/v4/projects/mygroup%2Fscb/labels

If i use 'red' or 'green' instead of #001100 things work fine.

Any idea? is this a bug?

It's a bug. All the args passed in via the CLI have YAML.safe_load called on them so that we can support passing an options Hash down to the real method. So when you pass in #001100 and we YAML load it, the YAML parser thinks it's a comment and returns nil. YAML.safe_load was chosen because we can safely call it on each string argument and still receive the string after it's been loaded, unless of course it starts with a comment token.

I can't say a solution immediately comes to mind.
