[jira] Resolved: (BUILDR-149) cannot specify foo.bar=value as argument

["Assaf Arkin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-149?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Assaf Arkin resolved BUILDR-149.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Inherited from Rake.  I'm guessing to keep behavior consistent -- variables can be inherited from the environment or set on the command line, and dots are not supported in environment variable names (at least not on bash).

>             Project: Buildr

> > buildr foo.bar=value
> (in /work/HEAD, development)
> Don't know how to build task 'foo.bar=value'
> [Failed] Your build failed with an error: /work/HEAD:
> Don't know how to build task 'foo.bar=value'
> buildr aborted!
> The reason is that Buildr.application.collect_tasks parses arguments using the \w regexp which takes dots to be word separators. similarly, foo:bar=value, foo-bar=value, will not work.
> Maybe just use /^(.+)=(.*)$/ to recognize variables? This means task names cannot contain '=', but variables and task names can still contain all special symbols.
