Robert Scholte commented on MEXEC-100:
--------------------------------------
One way or another, both will result in an invalid command. So I don't see the
need for such an 'improvement'.
> 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.
