# dfx-orbit CLI doesn't work with station v0.6.0 #610

Hi

I've been trying to use dfx-orbit with my v0.6.0 station but hitting Candid parsing errors regardless of which CLI version I use.

Setup

  • Station: g24fd-zaaaa-aaaac-qc2pq-cai (v0.6.0)
  • dfx: 0.30.1

The Problem

Both CLI v0.6.0 (matching) and v0.10.0 (latest) fail with the same error:

dfx-orbit review list
# or
dfx-orbit request canister install <id> --wasm <path> --mode upgrade

Error:

Failed to execute command: Failed to parse candid: ...
wire_type: null, expect_type: vec text, field_name: Named("tags")

The CLI expects a tags field (vec text) but the station returns null.

What I Tried

  1. ✅ Built dfx-orbit v0.6.0 → same error
  2. ✅ Built dfx-orbit v0.10.0 → same error
  3. ✅ Reinstalled dfx fresh → same error

Workaround

The Orbit UI works fine, but the CLI is broken.

Questions

  1. Is there a known compatible CLI version for station v0.6.0?
  2. What is the recommended way to resolve this?

I also asked in the forum.
