Thomas Mortagne commented on MRESOURCES-230:
--------------------------------------------
Sure I don't require escaping in that file right now but it's mostly a
coincidence and it's a workaround. But if anyone end up in the same situation
than I do and require to escape something in another part of the file then
there is no solution.
I don't understand why you don't want to handle this use case. At the very
least if you don't want to escape \ everywhere then you should check if the
number of \ in front of the $ is pair or not and do some cleanup.
> Can't escape the escape string
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: MRESOURCES-230
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOURCES-230
> Project: Maven Resources Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: escape string
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Reporter: Thomas Mortagne
> Priority: Critical
>
> I have the following use case in a XML file:
> {code:xml}
> <variable name="xwikiDataDir"
> value="%APPDATA%\XWiki\${project.version}\data"
> condition="windowsSevenAndGreater"/>
> {code}
> Before 3.0 it used to produce
> {code:xml}
> <variable name="xwikiDataDir" value="%APPDATA%\XWiki\8.2\data"
> condition="windowsSevenAndGreater"/>
> {code}
> \ is now the default escape character, I'm fine with that but then it should
> be possible to escape the escape string which is buggy right now.
> The following source
> {code:xml}
> <variable name="xwikiDataDir"
> value="%APPDATA%\XWiki\\${project.version}\data"
> condition="windowsSevenAndGreater"/>
> {code}
> gives me
> {code:xml}
> <variable name="xwikiDataDir" value="%APPDATA%\\XWiki\8.2\data"
> condition="windowsSevenAndGreater"/>
> {code}
> Notice the still doubled \. The first one should be removed from the result.
> I tried escapeWindowsPaths bu it does not seems to be matching my string as a
> Windows path which is probably another bug.
> Since I can't find any way to disable escaping (see MRESOURCES-231),
> I ended up finding a character I don't have in my file and set it as
> escapeString.
