Category: Tasks Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Serge Baltic (hypersw) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MSBuild Task: Property Values Must Be Escaped Initial Comment: If a property value ends with a backslash, it does not get escaped and goes into the msbuild command line “as is”. As the property value is enclosed in quotes, the closing quote with a backslash is treated as an escaped quote, and the next command-line argument is glued with the property value. Example: … <property name="OutDir" value="t:\bin\" /> … Suppose the command-line like "/p:OutDir=t:\bin\" /p:Something=Else in this case, the OutDir's value is “t:\bin" /p:Something=Else”, and the “Something” property is not set at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gerke Geurts (ggeurts) Date: 2008-01-28 17:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=707583 Originator: NO Temporary workaround is to add a space at the end of the property value, e.g. <property name="OutDir" value="t:\bin\ " /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=474851&aid=1770152&group_id=54790 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
