Bug ID: 120249
Summary: CLI: cannot use a path with trailing backslash on
Windows
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.4.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The command line like
> soffice.exe --convert-to pdf path-to-file.odt --outdir c:\test\
or
> soffice.exe --convert-to pdf --outdir c:\test\ path-to-file.odt
fails to produce the output file in the specified directory; while
> soffice.exe --convert-to pdf path-to-file.odt --outdir c:\test
works fine (note the trailing backslash in the outdir path in the first case).
Also
> soffice.exe --convert-to pdf path-to-file.odt --outdir c:/test/
works.
The problem is that soffice.exe processes its command line arguments, and
passes them to the spawned soffice.bin process quoted in double-quotes; it
appends -env:OOO_CWD=... to the end of the resulting command line. So, the
resulting soffice.bin command line in the first case would be
> "soffice.bin" "--convert-to" "pdf" "path-to-file.odt" "--outdir" "c:\test\"
> "-env:OOO_CWD=2C:\\Users\\username"
This command line is later processed in osl_createCommandArgs_Impl using
CommandLineToArgvW, to split it to individual arguments. But the latter WinAPI
function processes the sequence \" (backslash+doublequote) specially, i.e., in
this case it treats this as escaped doublequote, inserting the unescaped
doublequote into the resulting argument, instead of treating the doublequote as
limiting the argument. So the part
> "c:\test\" "-env:OOO_CWD=2C:\\Users\\username"
is converted into one resulting argument
> c:\test" -env:OOO_CWD=2C:\\Users\\username
instead of expected two arguments:
> c:\test\
> -env:OOO_CWD=2C:\\Users\\username
which causes the error trying to write to a non-existing directory with a
doublequote in the middle.
The described behavior is discussed in
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/shellapi/nf-shellapi-commandlinetoargvw.
