[MSHARED-832] Cannot invoke maven from path with parentheses on Windows

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: maven-invoker-2.2
• Component/s: maven-invoker, maven-shared-utils
• Environment: Windows 10

Description

When M2_HOME is set to a path with parentheses (in this case C:\work\lol(1)\maven), the following command is generated on windows:

cmd.exe /X /C "C:\work\lol(1)\maven\bin\mvn.cmd -B -e -V compile"

This command fails, saying that C:\work\lol is not a known command

When a space is added to the path, the path gets escaped, and the command runs successfully.

It looks like more characters need to be escaped on some platforms
