Not specifying advanced arguments results in "Cannot read property 'match' of undefined" error

[palmsey]

Adding a space to the Advanced > Arguments field gets around the error.

I think this is due to:

var rawArgs = taskLibrary.getInput('cordovaArgs', /* required */ false); var args = rawArgs.match(/([^" ]*("[^"]*")[^" ]*)|[^" ]+/g);

rawArgs should be checked before calling match.

@palmsey Which task is this happening on? All of them or one in particular? (Cordova Build, Cordova Command, Ionic Command, PhoneGap Command)

@ryuyu Can you investigate? This may be due to subtle differences in how VSTS can pass back args since I know we didn't see this during testing

[palmsey]

I've only tried Cordova Build.

I have just submitted a PR to fix this (https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-cordova-tasks/pull/21)

It would also appear that this particular issue only surfaces in Cordova Build task as far as I can tell. The other tasks don't do a regex match explicitly, and instead pass the equivalent rawArgs string directly to the command to be executed, which in turn does the regex match and check. We couldn't use this mechanism in the Cordova Build task because we do some additional processing of the args that the task library parsing doesn't do.

Thanks for reporting @palmsey. We'll work on getting a 1.1.2 update out quickly since this could be common even though we didn't see it in testing.

Cordova Build 1.1.2 was just released. You should see the update land in your account in the next few hours. Let us know if this does not resolve the issue for you.
