Datasource / Workbook downloaded doesn't have spaces in filenames #1274
Description
I'm using python 3.9 , tableauserverclient = v0.26 to download a datasource named "Athena datasource.tdsx"
But the downloaded file has the name "Athenadatasource.tdsx" without spaces.
Code:
server.datasources.download(ds.id, output_dir, include_extract=False)

Confirm having the same issue after I upgraded Tableau Server from v2022.1.14 to v2022.1.20 (to get the security patch at v2022.1.19), was using the API successfully all throughout last week until the upgrade on Friday and been failing since due to whitespaces been stripped from the downloaded datasource file names, haven't tested workbooks I assume same applies.
tableauserverclient==0.15.0

I have the same issue as well. Is there a fix in place to get the spaces back?

I noticed the same issue when I upgraded tableau server client to 0.31. I was able to fix things on my end by downgrading to 0.30. I'm on Tableau Server 2023.1.11 (20231.24.0312.1557).

Tested with v0.33 and the issue appears to be resolved.

This was resolved in v0.33 — confirmed by @jorwoods above. Closing.
