Error: "Required parameter sfdc.password is unspecified or empty", in spite of using sfdc.oauth.accesstoken

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I’ve been using sfdc.oauth.accesstoken instead of sfdc.password in process-conf.xml. it was working just as I intended in the previous version . But after updating to v53.0.1, the following error came to occur.

2021-12-20 11:14:22,568 INFO  [process] process.ProcessRunner run (ProcessRunner.java:136) - Loading parameters

	at com.salesforce.dataloader.process.ProcessRunner.run(ProcessRunner.java:140) ~[dataloader-53.0.2-uber.jar:?]
	... 3 more

Now I’m tentatively setting both sfdc.oauth.access token and sfdx.password to the same value, like this:

<entry key="sfdc.oauth.accesstoken" value="68c8a4..."/>
<entry key="sfdc.password" value="68c8a4..."/>

It is working, but a little strange. So, if there is not a special reason, I’d like to you fix it.

Thanks.

Hi @norikoiwai , thanks for this clarification. I am attaching a patched version of data loader 53.0.2 that does not require password if sfdc.oauth.accesstoken is set. Let us know if that works.
