Cannot pass dashed script options on windows

[lespea]

I have a script that I'm generating with universal:packageBin and I need to pass dashed options as arguments to my script (ie run_script.bat --in a --out b). This works fine in linux but on windows it's appending the dashed args into java_opts. So basically what happens is I get this:

java %java_opts% --in --out -cp "%cp%" %mainClass% --in a --out b

instead of this:

java %java_opts% -cp "%cp%" %mainClass% --in a --out b

I forgot to mention I'm using 0.8.0-RC1

Can you try out this #393 pull request? It might solve your problem.

[lespea]

Just tried using the bat template from that commit and it worked. Thanks!

[muuki88]

Awesome! Could you do us one favor? Can you try running the scripted tests with

sbt "scripted windows/*"

and tell us what windows system you are using?

I ran that for the forked version listed above (#393) and it errored with this:

[error] C:\Users\.\AppData\Local\Temp\sbt_451a5df4\java-app-archetype\build.sbt:9: error: reference to maintainer is ambiguous;
[error] it is imported twice in the same scope by

This is using Windows 7 & jdk8. Do you need the full output and/or for me to run it on master?

Also to be clear to get it to work before I just manually went into that commit, copied the relevant sections of the bat template, and altered the one that was auto-generated.

[lespea]

That was with a fresh ~/.sbt dir so none of my global settings were used.

[muuki88]

No, this is actually fine. This is a small error in the tests (import NativePackagerKeys._ creates the ambigious reference).

The important test is the second one windows/test-bat-template. If this ran fine, everything is okay.
Thanks a lot for your effort :) Only one last question, what locale do you have? Point is, the tests don't run on my machine (Windows 7, jdk 8). The only main difference I can think of is maybe the locale.

[lespea]

I'm on the English locale. What error are you getting out of curiosity?

[muuki88]

See #393 comments of me :( If you have a better guess I'm happy for any advice :)

Locale is a pair of region and language, by "English locale" do you mean tea-sipping English or English-as-in-America?
