Cannot update or delete a target if it is in a bad state about shield HOT 7 CLOSED

This may be a use case for shield edit <store | target | schedule | policy> UUID --raw to pass raw JSON using an editor.

Agree. Can we put in another issue for --raw support?

Are you thinking of keeping the $EDITOR support from bkp, or just supporting reading from stdin?

I was thinking that using $EDITOR from bkp would be most straightforward, unless you have a better idea handy :)

Ah, I missed the "using an editor" part.

For scripting / automation (i.e. concourse jobs), I see the use case going like so:

cat | shield create job --raw <<EOF
{
  "the": "json",
  "definition": ["goes", "here"]
}
EOF

Which doesn't require an editor. Might be easier to implement.

That's a good point - I think that solution might make more sense.

I cannot repro this issue, but I did just push #43 to help in the diagnostics.

Issue appears to be resolved with latest commits.
