--file cannot handle paths with spaces

[jnm2]

Using 1.5.0

$testResultsDir = 'artifacts\Test results'

codecov --name $tfm --file "$testResultsDir\coverage.$tfm.xml" --token $env:CODECOV_TOKEN

WRN The file D:\a\1\s\artifacts\Test does not exist.
WRN The file results\coverage.net472.xml does not exist.
FTL No Report detected.

It should respect quotes by using the string[] args that dotnet passes to Program.Main.

With this hypothetical call:

codecov --file "artifacts\Test results\a.xml" "artifacts\Test results\b.xml"

Program.Main will receive this as args:

new[]
{
    "--file",
    "artifacts\Test results\a.xml",
    "artifacts\Test results\b.xml"
}

Given such arguments, the files collection should contain artifacts\Test results\a.xml and artifacts\Test results\b.xml, not artifacts\Test, results\a.xml, artifacts\Test, results\b.xml.

Workaround:

# Workaround for https://github.com/codecov/codecov-exe/issues/71
$codecovFullPath = Join-Path (Get-Location) $codecov
Push-Location $testResultsDir

& $codecovFullPath --name $tfm --file coverage.$tfm.xml --token $env:CODECOV_TOKEN

# Workaround for https://github.com/codecov/codecov-exe/issues/71
Pop-Location

Unfortunately this is a limitation of the command parsing library being used, and how it has been set up.
CommandLineParser
While I am not 100% sure, I do believe the following needs to be used to get around it:

$testResultsDir = 'artifacts\Test results'

codecov --name $tfm --file "'$testResultsDir\coverage.$tfm.xml'" --token $env:CODECOV_TOKEN

(Notice the single quotes used after and before the double quote).

codecov --file "artifacts\Test results\a.xml" "artifacts\Test results\b.xml"

Passing multiple file paths this way is not supported unfortunately, all paths are expected to be within a singe quote string, using either single or double quotes.

IE:

codecov --file '"artifacts\Test results\a.xml" "artifacts\Test results\b.xml"'

Or

codecov --file "'artifacts\Test results\a.xml' 'artifacts\Test results\b.xml'"

(Again, I am not 100% certain it works with spaces).

If the mentioned ways do not work, then I am afraid that this won't be fixed until v 2.0 of codecov-exe (where I plan a major overhaul of the program, and changing how the arguments get parsed, changing the argument parser, changing the arguments to be similar but not exactly the same as the codecov bash script).

[jnm2]

Thanks.

--file "'$testResultsDir\coverage.$tfm.xml'" has the same result as without the single quotes.

[AdmiringWorm]

I was almost afraid of that.
Most likely in is the result of the separator used on the argument attribute (https://github.com/codecov/codecov-exe/blob/master/Source/Codecov/Program/CommandLineOptions.cs#L74).

I will investigate and see if this is something we are able to handle with the current library used, and without a breaking change.

[AdmiringWorm]

Unfortunately I have not been able to figure out how to fix this in a non-breaking way, as such I am afraid that this will not be fixed until the next major version have been released (which I have not yet started working on).

I will add a new section to the readme for Known Issues with a reference to this issue.

[jnm2]

Thanks for looking and for the tool! I appreciate both.

[AdmiringWorm]

Not a problem.

You should actually thank @larzw for the tool. While I am the one maintaining the tool now, he was the one that created it and most of the codebase is his work.

[jnm2]

Thanks @larzw! 😊

Semi-related, have you seen https://github.com/dotnet/command-line-api/wiki/DragonFruit-overview?

[AdmiringWorm]

No I had not, but I will make a note of it before deciding which parser to change to.

I was actually thinking of changing to Spectre.Cli, which have most of the features I want (and some others in the planning stage).
