Exclude wildcard not working via CLI

[gp-mlezotte]

I've encountered an issue where I'm unable to add exclude * -> * to a view in the DSL. The exact same DSL file works fine from the web editor. I should also note that I'm publishing to a local instance of Structurizr (build 2420).

Here's an example DSL:

workspace {

    model {
        user = person "User" "A user of my software system."
        softwareSystem = softwareSystem "Software System" "My software system."

        user -> softwareSystem "Uses"
    }

    views {
        systemContext softwareSystem {
            include *
            exclude * -> *
            autoLayout
        }

        styles {
            element "Software System" {
                background #1168bd
                color #ffffff
            }
            element "Person" {
                shape person
                background #08427b
                color #ffffff
            }
        }
    }

}

This is exactly the same as the example here: https://structurizr.com/dsl

However, I added the exclude * -> * line.

Here's the error info:

If you've recently upgraded the CLI, you'll need to surround * -> * in double-quotes.

That worked, thanks for the super quick response!
