| Description |

I run a task sending email-notification.
Task is "MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Communication.Email" from "MSBuild Extension Pack". It has several recipients passed as a list with a ";" (semicolon) delimiter. So, step is msbuild task, properties are EmailSender=Quickbuild <quickbuild@DRCIS-2008> EmailRecipient="recipient1@domain.com;recipient2@domain.com" (yes, already quoted, as QB itself does not quote msbuild properties) AnyOtherProperty=Value run step fails 17:54:10,501 DEBUG - Executing command: msbuild.exe /nologo /t:sendmail "/property:EmailSender=Quickbuild <quickbuild@DRCIS-2008>;EmailRecipient="recipient1@domain.com;recipient2@domain.com";AnyOtherProperty=Value" /noconsolelogger "/l:QBLogger,C:\Program Files\QBAgent\framework\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\com\pmease\quickbuild\plugin\builder\msbuild\PMEase.QuickBuild.MSBuild.Logger.dll;v=detailed" <PROJECT_FILE> 17:54:10,592 ERROR - MSBUILD : error MSB1006: Property is not valid. 17:54:10,592 INFO - Switch: recipient2@domain.com Obviously, MSBuild uses ";" as a properties delimiter, too. And it does respect quoted values "inside" one /property switch For example, if I run msbuild.exe /nologo /t:sendmail /property:EmailSender=quickbuild@DRCIS-2008;EmailRecipient="recipient1@domain.com;recipient2@domain.com" or even msbuild.exe /nologo /t:sendmail /property:EmailSender="Quickbuid <quickbuild@DRCIS-2008>";EmailRecipient="recipient1@domain.com;recipient2@domain.com" they will succeed but if I set (in QB task) EMailSender property to a value containing spaces (EmailSender=Quickbuild <quickbuild@DRCIS-2008>), build will fail as all the msbuild parameter "/property:..." is whole quoted Fortunately, I can workaround this by using EmailSender property without spaces, but generally I consider this as a bug. |

JFI: another workaround here for me is to set
EmailSender=Quickbuild%20<quickbuild@DRCIS-2008> but obviuosly this works for the MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Communication.Email task only |
