Description
I've been following JENKINS-5552 and this seems to be a different, but same issue. No matter what I put in the Command Line Arguments section of the "Build a Visual Studio project of solution using MSBuild" the command is parsed and the quotes needed are stripped. Since we have to use devenv.com, I cannot use the /p: command parameters. Attempting to us /build "Release|Win32" results in the quotes being stripped. This only happens when there are no spaces. "Release|Any CPU" appears to get the quotes re-established as the tokenizer recognizes the space. Can we just have this field get passed verbatim?

Andy I've created a patch for this: https://github.com/jenkinsci/msbuild-plugin/pull/7. The patch bumps the parent version to 1.420 because of a problem compiling with Java 7.

added a comment - I'm not sure. I'll reach out to the maintainers to see if we can get this pulled in and released.

added a comment - It looks like this fix has introduced a problem with the following command line:
/p:"VCBuildAdditionalOptions=/M20" /p:Configuration="Debug for Release" /p:platform="Win32" /v:n
This ends up thus:
cmd.exe /C C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe /p:"VCBuildAdditionalOptions=/M20" '/p:Configuration="Debug for Release"' /p:platform="Win32" /v:n C:\hudson\config\jobs\MapLink-Checkout\workspace\SDK\ThirdParty\Xalan-C\Xalan-Cx.sln && exit
Giving the following error:
MSBUILD : error MSB1008: Only one project can be specified.
Switch: Release

added a comment - I have the same issue as Damian.
I think the problem come from spaces in parameter values. Like for Damian, one of my parameters contains spaces and it's surrounded by quotes (') in the command line.
I have the same error message: Only one project can be specified.
To solve the issue, I have to roll back to previous version of the plugin (1.15).

François

I had the same problem, that the quotes were being stripped from /p:Configuration="Release|x86". I believe the solution is to specifically use instantiate QuoteStringTokenizer instances that return the quotes instead of relying on ArgumentListBuilder.addTokenized() (which will strip the quotes).
I've committed the changes to a fork and have submitted a pull request.
