Chaincode Invoke, Error: unknown flag: --tlsRootCertFiLes

Question

I am trying to invoke my chain code using command taken from hyperledger tutorial:

peer chaincode invoke -o localhost:7050 --ordererTLSHostnameOverride orderer.example.com --tls --cafile ${PWD}/organizations/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem -C mychannel -n basic --peerAddresses localhost:7051 --tlsRootCertFiles ${PWD}/organizations/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/peers/peer0.org1.example.com/tls/ca.crt --peerAddresses localhost:9051 --tlsRootCertFiles ${PWD}/organizations/peerOrganizations/org2.example.com/peers/peer0.org2.example.com/tls/ca.crt -c '{"function":"InitLedger","Args":[]}'

But I get the error that flag is unknown, also error message shows it is known - existed flag. I am so confused.

Error: unknown flag: --tlsRootCertFiLes 
Usage:
  peer chaincode invoke [flags]

Flags:
  -C, --channelID string               The channel on which this command should be executed
      --connectionProfile string       Connection profile that provides the necessary connection information for the network. Note: currently only supported for providing peer connection information
  -c, --ctor string                    Constructor message for the chaincode in JSON format (default "{}")
  -h, --help                           help for invoke
  -I, --isInit                         Is this invocation for init (useful for supporting legacy chaincodes in the new lifecycle)
  -n, --name string                    Name of the chaincode
      --peerAddresses stringArray      The addresses of the peers to connect to
      --tlsRootCertFiles stringArray   If TLS is enabled, the paths to the TLS root cert files of the peers to connect to. The order and number of certs specified should match the --peerAddresses flag
      --waitForEvent                   Whether to wait for the event from each peer's deliver filtered service signifying that the 'invoke' transaction has been committed successfully
      --waitForEventTimeout duration   Time to wait for the event from each peer's deliver filtered service signifying that the 'invoke' transaction has been committed successfully (default 30s)

Global Flags:
      --cafile string                       Path to file containing PEM-encoded trusted certificate(s) for the ordering endpoint
      --certfile string                     Path to file containing PEM-encoded X509 public key to use for mutual TLS communication with the orderer endpoint
      --clientauth                          Use mutual TLS when communicating with the orderer endpoint
      --connTimeout duration                Timeout for client to connect (default 3s)
      --keyfile string                      Path to file containing PEM-encoded private key to use for mutual TLS communication with the orderer endpoint
  -o, --orderer string                      Ordering service endpoint
      --ordererTLSHostnameOverride string   The hostname override to use when validating the TLS connection to the orderer
      --tls                                 Use TLS when communicating with the orderer endpoint
      --tlsHandshakeTimeShift duration      The amount of time to shift backwards for certificate expiration checks during TLS handshakes with the orderer endpoint
      --transient string                    Transient map of arguments in JSON encoding

This error does seem strange.

Is it possible that you are using an older version of Hyperledger Fabric that does not support multiple endorsing nodes? (I'm referencing this old post.)

Have you tested this with an endorsement policy that only requires a single peer node? (In that case, you could leave out the --tlsRootCertFiLes from your command, since you already provided it as an environmental variable.

Lastly, did you set your FABRIC_CFG_PATH variable? (e.g. export FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD/../config/ )
