Plugin breaks arguments containing quotes
-----------------------------------------
Key: MEXEC-100
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-100
Project: Maven 2.x Exec Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: exec
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Gili
Priority: Minor
This issue is an extension of MEXEC-81.
The plugin does a good job quoting arguments automatically, but if a user is
not aware of auto-quoting and insists on quoting paths themselves "bad things
happen". Given:
{code}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<configuration>
<executable>cmd.exe</executable>
<workingDirectory>${project.build.directory}/nsis/${vitex.classifier}</workingDirectory>
<arguments>
<argument>/c</argument>
<argument>echo</argument>
<argument>MyPath="${project.build.directory}/Name With Spaces.exe</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
{code}
The plugin will transform the last argument into:
MyPath="C:\Users\g.tzabari\Documents\vitex\installer\windows\target/Name With
Spaces.exe
notice the lack of a closing quote. Here is the output I get from echo:
"MyPath="C:\Users\g.tzabari\Documents\vitex\installer\windows\target/Name
With Spaces.exe"
Expected behavior: If an argument contains quotes, do not attempt to auto-quote
it. Respect the quotes provided by the user.
