Gazer export on nil space fails about gzr

[benpoliquin]

I think the space name might need to be a pointer reference before it calls gsub but I am unable to test.

[sabarber-looker]

It looks like:

path = Pathname.new(space.name.gsub('/',"\u{2215}"))

on line 77 (69 if excluding empty lines) of export.rb is the culprit here. In this case, I believe the spaces of unregistered users (e.g. have been invited to your looker instance but have never logged in and thus not set a first and last name) have a nil name, and this line does not have error handling for the nil case.

I have tested a hack which is to skip these with a conditional block on lines 77-113 with

if space.name
..
end

A permanent fix would perhaps notify with an error message or other notation like "Skipping space 36 from unregistered user."

And one more nugget of info, it looks like the act of querying the user's space with the API before they are registered is what creates the problem is the first place. To reproduce:
(1) Create new user
(2) gzr space ls 2
and note that the new user is not present in the list.
(3) gzr user ls
and note new user's space ID
(4) gzr space ls <num>
where is the space ID for the new user (e.g. 7)
(5) gzr space ls 2
and note that the new user is now present, meaning gazer will throw the nil error on gzr space export 2 until the user is registered.

Should be fixed in v0.2.23. Please reopen if not fixed.

Thank you for fixing this! @deangelo-llooker 🥇
