Comment #4 on issue 127 by [email protected]: TFS Plugin Broken by
latest VIM
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=127
It looks like the plugin is manually escaping quote characters in the
command with ^, which with default settings Vim will now do automatically
as-needed.
It looks like the format of commands that run are:
! start /min cmd /c path/to/tool.exe ^"tool arguments^"
or, depending on the command or specific settings, I'm not sure which:
r!cmd /c "path/to/tool.exe ^"tool arguments^""
"Does not work" means very little. What specific output do you get when you
try to run a command that fails?
I don't have TFS installed, and the plugin invokes a big chain of functions
to execute any command, so I tried the second command format with the 'dir'
command, as follows:
new
r!cmd /c "dir /b ^"C:\Program Files^""
Doing this gives me:
E485: Can't read file C:/Users/btfritz/AppData/Local/Temp/VIoF289.tmp
If I remove the ^ characters (because Vim's default settings are now set up
for these not to be needed anymore), I get a directory listing as I expect:
:new
r!cmd /c "dir /b "C:\Program Files""
For now you can try removing the ^ escaping from the commands in the
plugin. You should contact the plugin maintainer to let him know his plugin
needs adjustment for Vim's new default shellxquote and shellxescape
settings.
Note that ^" isn't actually a valid escape to include a quote within a
quote. The quotes also prevent special meanings of characters, so the
plugin was arguably wrong in the first place:
C:\>echo ^^
^
C:\>echo ^"
"
C:\>echo "^""
"^""
