Aleksandr Dubinsky commented on EXEC-93:
----------------------------------------
Can someone bring an example when quoting anything makes sense? Quotes are a
feature of the shell to distinguish when one argument ends and another begins.
We're doing this explicitly with calls to `addArgument`. Why is it doing any
quoting at all?
> Handling of escaped values by StringUtils

> Key: EXEC-93
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-93
> Project: Commons Exec
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.3, 1.4
> Reporter: Viktor Sadovnikov
> Fix For: 1.4

> Attachments: EXEC-93.patch

> An arguments can contain an environment variable value. For example, in
> command {{cd /tmp && STORAGE_DIR=/tmp resolve.sh}} {{STORAGE_DIR=/tmp}} is an
> argument, which is used by {{resolve.sh}}.
> However values of the variables can be more complicated and can contain
> escaped quotes. Current implementation of
> {{StringUtils#quoteArgument(String)}} does not handle these values correctly.
> Attached patch contains fix for this problem and unit tests to demonstrate
> the problem and the fix
