mvn generate fails if there are spaces in company name #6

Closed lbruby closed 4 years ago

lbruby commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Just starting with truelicense. When running the mvn generate as shown on this page, if the company name specified for -Dcompany has any spaces in it, the build fails with an error that looks like what I've pasted in below. This happens anytime there are spaces in the company name provided for the -Dcompany option, regardless of what the name is. If I put an _ (underscore) in place of any spaces in the company name the build completes successfully. Are you aware of this issue?

Thank you.

Update on this. I believe that any spaces in any of the parameters when generating the project are a problem. I am using maven 3.6.3.

BTW: This issue should be reported against the truelicense-maven-archetype repository.

The example in the README.md of this project has a company name with a space in it (Company Inc.) and it's working just fine. In fact, all the integration tests of this projects all use this property value.

Please check your property value quoting. The example provided assumes the Bourne Shell. Maybe you need to adapt it for your case.

Thank you for the response. I am working on Windows 8.1 from the command 'shell'. I've tried every method of quoting. I have found a workaround. If I don't provide the properties on the command line and instead let maven prompt me for any values that require spaces, then it works. I modified the archetype-metadata.xml file in the truelicense-maven-archetype-4.0.2.jar file so it would not have a default for the editions property, so it would prompt for that one too. I will also try using cygwin with the bash shell to see how that works. Closing this. Apologies for reporting this in the wrong repository. Took me awhile to understand everything. I'm new to maven.

You can try Git for Windows - it comes with a CygWin like environment and works just fine. Or better yet, you can try the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

I have git installed on my computer and use it. I do my Java development in Netbeans. I also have cygwin installed, just don't use it much.
