Search fails when source path includes a space about cols-agent-tasks HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @reidsimon - argh! Seems like the task lib is putting quotes around the variables that you are passing in (perhaps because you have 2 variables in a string?). Anyway, I've added code to remove any quotes from the source path - can you try again please?

from cols-agent-tasks.

Are you including quote characters " in the path? You should not be doing so. Can you try it without the quotes?

from cols-agent-tasks.

I am not including quote characters. Just tested again with this input:

Source Path: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/$(Build.DefinitionName)/drop
Target File Pattern: WebApp.SetParameters.xml

and got this output:

ReplaceTokens 0.0.10 removed the leading quote, but there is still a trailing quote:

Set workingFolder to default: C:\vsts_agent\agent\tasks\ReplaceTokens\0.0.10
...
##[debug]glob C:\vsts_agent_work\874a330a4\Test build copy\drop"\WebApp.SetParameters.xml

from cols-agent-tasks.

@reidsimon For some strange reason sourcePath = sourcePath.replace("\"", "") still left a trailing quote. I just do a replacement on the whole glob like this:
globPattern = ${sourcePath}\${filePattern}.replace("\"", "") which seems to do the trick!

Please confirm that this works for you and I'll close this issue. Thanks for working with me on this!

Still an issue in 0.0.12. .replace(/\"/g,"") on the globPattern seems to work better.

from cols-agent-tasks.

Shoot! I am sure this worked, but when I tried it again it still failed. Anyway, I've incorporated your regex replacement and I think it's fixed.

Works great now, thanks!
