What steps will reproduce the problem?
Use a dollar sign in an action.
Use the ninja generator.
Try to build the corresponding target.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Build should work. Ninja doesn't like the $. Ninja suggests that $ should be
repeated to be properly escaped. Tried that, ninja no longer complains, but the
command is not correct. Tried other kinds of escaping and nothing seemed to
work. The ninja generator should do whatever escaping it required on its own.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Not sure. Newish. Linux.
Please provide any additional information below.
This probably also happens if the $ is in one of the inputs or outputs.
Tried to create a test file, but got some crazy error about toolsets. Looked
for documentation on a minimal gyp file... didn't find any. I've attached my
attempt at a test file.
