Re: [p2-dev] Site with space character in the URL

[Jeff MAURY <jeffmaury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Igor,

I already have distributed the address of my site to my beta test users install base, so this is not an absolute necessity but the problem is that the site is produced by a Jenkins job so the URL is derived from the Jenkins job name and putting this constraint on Jenkins job sounds weird for me.

I think this is a bug in P2 as the site address is displayed correctly inside Eclipse but the error appears when install/update against this site is run

Regards
Jeff

All characters that you would normally escape in an XML document must be escaped in the p2.inf as well.

Subject: [p2-dev] Site with space character in the URL

 

Hello,

i am building an Eclipse based application with Tycho.
As I am also building the update site part of the build, I am using the AddRepository touchpoint action in my product p2.inf file.
The problem I have is that the URL for my site has space characters.
So if, in the p2.inf file, I don't escape the ' ' characters, the TYcho build fails: in fact, Tycho launches the P2 director application and it fails because of illegar characters in the site URI.
So, I escaped space characters (as %20) in p2.inf, the Tycho build now complete but when I launched my product, I can see the sites, but if I check for new software, P2 cannot retrieve info from the site because it seems the %20 have not been unescaped.

Do you know if this is supported and if I am missing something ?

Thanks
Jeff
