Why i am getting error: option --key_name(argument) not recognized while running a glue job?

Question

I am running a glue job with python script shell(version 3.9) and glue version  is 3.0. I am passing 8 arguments to the glue job and accessing it using getResolvedOptions(args, options). One of the argument is not recognized and checked the logs it is saying **error: option --key_name(argument) not recognized** . May I know the reason for this error?

Answer

Hi,

Do you use some code like this one?

```
import sys
from awsglue.utils import getResolvedOptions

args = getResolvedOptions(sys.argv,
                          ['JOB_NAME',
                           'day_partition_key',
                           'hour_partition_key',
                           'day_partition_value',
                           'hour_partition_value'])
print "The day-partition key is: ", args['day_partition_key']
print "and the day-partition value is: ", args['day_partition_value']
```

In that case, try each of your 8 parameters until you find the incorrect one.

Arguments are case sensitive. Ensure you have the correct case.
