Tom Byttebier created CONFIGURATION-640:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: Colon in properties file value no longer unescaped in
commons configuration 2
Key: CONFIGURATION-640
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-640
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Tom Byttebier
Priority: Minor
A properties file create with java escape a colon in for example a path like
C:\test as {noformat}C\:\\test{noformat}
When reading this property value in commons configuration the colon is
unescaped, C:\test
When reading the property value in commons configuration 2 the colon is no
longer unescaped, C\:\test.
Snipped of the code I used for reading the property
{code}
final ConfigurationBuilder<PropertiesConfiguration> builder =
new
FileBasedConfigurationBuilder<>(PropertiesConfiguration.class).configure(new
Parameters().properties().setFile(path.toFile());
final PropertiesConfiguration propertiesConfiguration =
builder.getConfiguration();
Assert.assertEquals("C:\\test", propertiesConfiguration.getString("test2"));
{code}
I've read this
[section|http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/userguide_v1.10/howto_properties.html#Special_Characters_and_Escaping]
so I'm aware of the changes to escaping, but I'm not sure how the escaping of
the colon fits into this and if there is a way around this.
