Jeff Pierson commented on MNG-7131: ----------------------------------- [~michael-o], ok so this is an expected breaking change? I couldn't find much details in documentation or other discussion other than the change to put arguments on separate lines. Is the workaround that I found the preferred one because like the original poster I did try quoting the argument value such as below which also didn't work. -s ".mvn/settings.xml" and "-s .mvn/settings.xml" At the same time I see that this issue which is about the allowing spaces with quoting behavior is marked fixed in previous versions. So I'm now wondering that if {{-s .mvn/settings.xml}} is not a regression from Maven 3 and an intentional breaking change on whether my attempt to quote the value as {{"-s .mvn/settings.xml"}} is a regression somewhere in the Maven 4 Alphas. Is there somewhere that explains this behavior and the breaking changes so that I can plan next steps for my projects which will adopt Maven 4 or help to open a new issue? > maven.config doesn't handle arguments with spaces in them > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-7131 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7131 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Command Line > Affects Versions: 3.6.3 > Reporter: Stefan Oehme > Assignee: Michael Osipov > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.9.0, 4.0.0-alpha-2, 4.0.0 > > > I tried putting a path with a space in the maven.config like so: > {code:java} > "-Dmy.path=/some/path with/a/space" > {code} > When asking for the my.path property inside Maven, I get the path with a > trailing quote > {code:java} > /some/path with/a/space" > {code} > The file is parsed by [splitting it by > whitespace|https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/c3cf29438e3d65d6ee5c5726f8611af99d9a649a/maven-embedder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli.java#L386]. > I suggest replacing that code with the much better > [CommandLineUtils.translateCommandline(argLine)|https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-utils/blob/85a4a3c534752919dd97d757d4ef0fdb6d40eb8c/src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/util/cli/CommandLineUtils.java#L412] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
