----------------------------------------
No need for Cygwin or other things. Fixed as part of DAFFODIL-2058.
> 'sbt cli' tests do not run on MS-Windows - echo command XML injection flawed

> Key: DAFFODIL-1811
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1811
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Infrastructure, QA, Windows
> Environment: MS Windows 10
> Reporter: Michael Beckerle
> Assignee: Mark C. Otto
> Priority: Major
>
> 'sbt cli' runs on Linux, but not windows - there are failures due to the way
> the echo command is used to inject XML text into the stdin of the CLI. The
> echo command in MS Windows does not work the same way as Linux echo. (BTW:
> Linux echo is deprecated, and should be using bash printf instead).
> The command echo '<x/>' fails on windows. The can't tolerate the < or >
> characters, and various quoting attempts don't seem to be able to overcome
> this.
> Installing cygwin, and running sbt cli from the cygwin bash shell is not
> alone sufficient to fix this problem. Probably PATH settings and/or other
> environment variables are required to be set up.
> Instructions about installing Cygwin have been removed from the Wiki for now,
> as they are not needed to get regular old 'sbt test' to work.
