Passing parameters with spaces about omniscli HOT 8 CLOSED

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you...I've been swamped lately!

I added a test to oOmnisCli.$_parseArguments() to try and demonstrate this error, but the test correctly sees 'foo bar' 'baz biff' as two arguments.

There could be some command-line parsing causing the issue. What platform and shell are you using?

No problem, we all have busy schedules... 😉
I use MacOs 10.12.6 and tested it in Bash and zsh. Both give the same results. I noticed it does work if you wrap the arguments with single and double quotes.
eg
"/Applications/Omnis Studio Runtime 8.0.3.5 x64.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/omniscli" Hello "'foo bar'" "'baz biff'"

I found the problem. The omniscli and omniscli.ps1 scripts were consuming the single quotes. I checked in a fix, so grab a new copy of omniscli and see if that fixes the issue.

Both scripts needed a fix. The script takes its arguments and stores them in an environment variable for Omnis to read. The quotes kept the arguments grouped properly in the script, but the script didn’t re-add them for Omnis to see. Both scripts now quote each argument to ensure Omnis parses them as the user intended.

Yeah...I squashed the commits for the Mac and Windows scripts and went one revision too far for the release notes. If you check the code for omniscli you'll see a shift to get the command, then a for loop to wrap the arguments in single quotes. This is the fix for this issue. Can you give it a try on your box and verify?

Ah sorry, I was confused by the information GitHub gave me. When I compared the revisions of the omniscli file I saw the change and it also works at my computer!

Thanks!
