Add-PnPPage: Does not create site page URL with spaces

[AJD8]

I have changed over from SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline to PnP.PowerShell v1.4 and it appears I am no longer able to create a site page that has a URL with spaces.

Example:
$CompanyName = 'test page'
Add-PnPPage -Name $CompanyName -CommentsEnabled:$false
Set-PnPPage -Identity $CompanyName -HeaderType None

What will happen is the site page will be created with a URL such as test-page or test+page. Due to the addition of the '-' or '+' the set page will fail as the company name no longer matches.

Is this expected behavior? I also tried adding '%20' for the space on the add-pnppage, but that leads to a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error.

Additonal info, I am running PnP.Powershell in Powershell v5.1.

I think the page name in your example, would be "test page.aspx", hence why the Set-PnPPage fails perhaps? (There is no page called "test page")

Have you tried something like:

$CompanyName = 'test page'
$page = Add-PnPPage -Name $CompanyName -CommentsEnabled:$false
Set-PnPPage -Identity $page.Name -HeaderType None

Thanks. I may have not phrased my Q well, but I want the page to accept the spaces. But if I try passing the "test page" in as the name it fills the space with a '-' or a'+' which is not the desired result.

I think it does though what you are asking for:

It isn't adding anything to the page name or title. When you open the page, the URL cannot contain a space hence why it is escaped with "%20".

You can also create the page with a %20 - "test%20page" works in my environment.

This is what I am getting when I try same thing:

I passed in these commands as part of a larger script:

$page = Add-PnPPage -Name $CompanyName -CommentsEnabled:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
echo "this is the Page Name: " $page.Name
Set-PnPPage -Identity $page.Name -HeaderType None
Write-Host ""

I was able to confirm behavior with a consulting group we work with, I am going to submit a bug.
