Expected a value for option project-file

Satya | Last updated: Aug 21, 2017 07:38AM UTC

I am getting the above error whenever I try to load a project from command line in burp. Please let me know how do I get rid of this error or is there any other way of doing this through command line. I am using the following command: java -jar burp.jar --project-file "path_to_project_file" --config-file "path_to_config_file"

Ensure your "path_to_project_file" is correct and that your project file is located in the appropriate location.

i'm using a similar command line and getting the same error: java -jar -Xmx2g burp.jar --project-file "C:\Burp Projects\burpprojectfile.burp" I got the same issue. "Expected a value for option project-file"
