Description
Describe the bug
Edit:
See the comment further down #6465 (comment) for the issue with current version and quote / paths vs nu command.
Old description:
Despite #2095, in some cases quotes are still removed, thus breaking external commands using them for paths for example.
How to reproduce
If you execute this :
let exe = "^echo"
let somepath = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Realtek"
let command = $"($exe) --arg1 \"($somepath)\" -z@\"($somepath)\""
echo $"COMMMAND: ($command)"
nu -c $command
you obtain this :
COMMMAND: ^echo --arg1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Realtek" -z@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Realtek"
Error: nu::parser::unclosed_delimiter (link)
× Unclosed delimiter.
╭─[source:1:1]
1 │ ^echo --arg1 C:\Program Files (x86)\Realtek" -z@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Realtek
· ▲
· ╰── unclosed )
╰────
after arg1 one double-quote for the path is removed, and after -z one double-quote is removed, for some reason.
Note : The "why" the command is in a variable ($exe) is because the command is known at runtime (depending on OS)
Expected behavior
per #2095 none of the paths double quote should be removed.
The command that should be execute would be what the echo $"COMMMAND: ($command)" shows
