Summary: Valid setting from command line not valid in response file
Initial Comment:
It is possible to put an item in a response file (the @<file> operation) which
does not work, but the same setting does work from the command line.
Given the following build file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="PropertyTest" default="test" basedir=".">
<description>A test of the command file handling.</description>
<target name="test">
<echo message="Item = ${variable}"/>
</target>
</project>
>From the command line, the following works as expected:
nant "-D:variable=Some Variable With Spaces"
I.e. the output reads as follows:
NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.2478.0; release; 10/14/2006)
Copyright (C) 2001-2006 Gerry Shaw
http://nant.sourceforge.net
Buildfile: file:///D:/NextGenSvn/tools/nant/bin/test.build
Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Target(s) specified: test
test:
[echo] Item = Some Variable With Spaces
BUILD SUCCEEDED
Putting the same string ("-D:variable=Some Variable With Spaces") into a
response file, and invoking Nant using nant @responsefile.txt, results in the
following output:
NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.2478.0; release; 10/14/2006)
Copyright (C) 2001-2006 Gerry Shaw
http://nant.sourceforge.net
Buildfile: file:///D:/NextGenSvn/tools/nant/bin/test.build
Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Target(s) specified: "-D:variable=Some Variable With Spaces"
BUILD FAILED
Target '"-D:variable=Some' does not exist in this project.
Total time: 0 seconds.
The expected result is that either mechanism to set the variable is valid.
