create exact synonym from the GitHub issue somehow gets parsed as createexactsynonym in kgcl-java.

@gouttegd : are the single quotes in the command messing up something?

The error message from the parser is somewhat misleading (I’ll see if I can make it more useful), but this has nothing to do with create exact synonym being somehow parsed as createexactsynonym.

The problem is with the for 'ocean floor'. The parser expects a term ID after for, not a string. KGCL-Java does not support using a label where an ID is expected. This is on purpose: you want to modify a term, you are supposed to know its ID; KGCL-Java will not do the lookup for you.

So here, the command should have been

create exact synonym 'ocean basin floor' for ENVO:00000426

Thank you for the quick response @gouttegd !

Can be closed, but we should continue discussion about labels here: INCATools/kgcl#82
