Problem:

The page https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/jsonpath/ gives the following as an example of JSONPath usage:

kubectl get pods -o=jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{"\t"}{.status.startTime}{"\n"}{end}'`

When I paste this into a Windows command prompt, I get the error error: error parsing jsonpath '{range, unclosed action.

Proposed Solution:

On Windows, you need to use double quotes around JSONPaths with spaces in them. This in turn means you need to use a single quote or an escaped double quote around literals:

kubectl get pods -o=jsonpath="{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{'\t'}{.status.startTime}{'\n'}{end}"
kubectl get pods -o=jsonpath="{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{\"\t\"}{.status.startTime}{\"\n\"}{end}"
