[CMake] [SPAM] Re: resource installation

Hmmm, I think I've found a bug.  Here is what I have in my top-level CMakeLists.txt file:


if(WIN32)
    #
    # run the script to install the resources
    #
    set(RI_RESULT " ")
    set(RI_OUTPUT " ")
    set(RI_ERROR " ")
    
    install(CODE "message(\"running ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ResourceInstall.bat ${WIN_PLATFORM} ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}\")")

    install(CODE execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ResourceInstall.bat ${WIN_PLATFORM} ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}
                                 RESULT_VARIABLE RI_RESULT
                                 OUTPUT_VARIABLE RI_OUTPUT
                                 ERROR_VARIABLE RI_ERROR
                                 OUTPUT_FILE ResInst.out
                                 ERROR_FILE ResInst.err )
           )

    install(CODE "message(\"ResourceInstall results \\\"${RI_RESULT}\\\" output: \\\"${RI_OUTPUT}\\\"  error: \\\"${RI_ERROR}\\\" \")")

endif()


(As you can see I haven't figured out quoting yet)
This is what comes out of the above code:


if("x${CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT}x" STREQUAL "xUnspecifiedx" OR NOT CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT)
  message("running C:/Users/robb/Development/apdfl-sandbox/pdfl15_all/ResourceInstall.bat x64 Release")
endif()

if("x${CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT}x" STREQUAL "xUnspecifiedx" OR NOT CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT)
  execute_process(COMMAND "C:/Users/robb/Development/apdfl-sandbox/pdfl15_all/ResourceInstall.bat x64 Release"
        WORKING_DIRECTORY C:/Users/robb/Development/apdfl-sandbox/pdfl15_all
        RESULT_VARIABLE RI_RESULT
        OUTPUT_VARIABLE RI_OUTPUT
        ERROR_VARIABLE RI_ERROR
        OUTPUT_FILE ResInst.out
        ERROR_FILE ResInst.err ")
endif()

if("x${CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT}x" STREQUAL "xUnspecifiedx" OR NOT CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT)
  message("ResourceInstall results  output:   error:  ")
endif()


From cmake 3.12.2 on Win64.  The issue is the closing quote inside "execute_process"  which appears to have been magically added by cmake.
When I run the cmake_install.cmake as is it fails on that line:


CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:87:
  Parse error.  Function missing ending ")".  Instead found unterminated
  string with text ")

  ".

If I remove that stray double quote, it runs, doing all the subdir install tasks, but still doesn't run the ResourceInstall.bat file.
And it generates the error:

I know the batch file does not get run because I have statements at the top that create a file before anything else, and it also sends output to stdout.

Any advice on how I can move forward here?

Thanks,

    If you add 'OUTPUT_VARIABLE' and 'ERROR_VARIABLE' information to the
    execute_process call you should be able to dump the information using
    'message' and see if the execute_process is running.

I can copy the “message” output and run it – and it does what I want, and I see it in cmake_install.cmake – the message() and execute_process() calls are inside of identical conditionals, but there’s no indication that it is executing, or that there was any sort of problem.
