Please review this change which addresses a minor issue when running tests on some Windows machines.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8201263 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mikael/webrevs/8201263/webrev.00/open/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mikael/webrevs/8201263/webrev.00/open/> * Background (from the bug) When running tests using Make on a (Windows) machine where VS120COMNTOOLS is set an error message is generated. /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file The message is generated by this logic in test/TestCommon.gmk: ifneq ($(VS120COMNTOOLS), ) JTREG_BASIC_OPTIONS += -e:VS120COMNTOOLS=$(shell $(GETMIXEDPATH) "$(VS120COMNTOOLS)") endif The problem is that the VS120COMNTOOLS variable typically looks something like: $ echo $VS120COMNTOOLS C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\ Of particular interest is the fact that it has a trailing backslash. When used in the make file that means it will all be expanded to something like: JTREG_BASIC_OPTIONS += ... $(shell cygwin -m "c:\<path>\Common7\Tools\") When that in turn gets executed the backslash will escape the last double quote which means that the quotes are no longer paired. * Fix The fix removes the trailing backslash (if there is one). I verified the fix locally, and I’m running more CI testing on it now. Cheers, Mikael
