Summary0015092: COMMAND cannot parse shell []
DescriptionAny COMMAND that starts with '[' and has some statement followed by ']' generates some parser error that never occurred in CMAKE 2.x. I cannot recall the exact error as I downgraded to CMAKE 2.8.12, but it was something about expecting a parenthesis.
Steps To ReproduceTry this or some shorter version of this in a cmakelists.txt file:
COMMAND [ ! -d "${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/lib" ] || cp -rf "${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/lib" "${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/${APPLICATION_NAME}.app/Contents/MacOS/"
Additional Informationall parse-able COMMANDS in CMAKE 2.8 need to be parse-able in 3.x.

There is one intentionally introduced syntax change documented in the 3.0 release notes:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/release/3.0.0.html#syntax [^]

but this is *not* it. This is a real regression in lexing a single '[' as its own unquoted argument.

Meanwhile you can work around the problem by quoting the argument:

 COMMAND "[" ! -d "${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/lib" "]"

I've merged the fix for inclusion in the 3.0.2 release.
