Mongodb-error check settings: only one positional argument is allowed

I just switched to a new laptop with mongo 3.0.0. On the new laptop I have mongo 3.0.4. and trying a script that worked on an old laptop gives me errors. This line gives me an error.

mongoimport --host localhost \ -db roudy123_q \ -collection LebaneseAmericanUniversity\(Lebanon\).json \ --file LebaneseAmericanUniversity\(Lebanon\).json \ --jsonArray

Error checking options: only one positional argument is allowed.

I was looking for a Google bug, and the only relevant result was the mongoimport source code. Therefore, I suppose this has something to do with the new version.

Just a wild hunch ...

... but various long options should be specified with -- , not - :

 mongoimport --host localhost \ --db roudy123_q \ --collection LebaneseAmericanUniversity\(Lebanon\).json \ --file LebaneseAmericanUniversity\(Lebanon\).json \ --jsonArray

Maybe this particular version of mongoimport more punctual and will refer to -db ... -collection ... as positional arguments, not keyword arguments?

This error can also occur if white spaces are specified without a "\" in the file path. Example: This will not work: Error

But this would work:

If you get this error when inserting fields with fields, a probable reason could be the use of spaces for this.

Both -f and - fields should work in these cases. Using Mongo version 3.0.6

 mongoimport --db logs --collection action_logs --type tsv -f updated_at ,transaction_time ,origin --file parsed.tsv mongoimport --db logs --collection action_logs --type tsv -f updated_at,transaction_time,origin --file parsed.tsv

I think that providing spaces in the directory file name will also contribute to this error.
