overriding properties on command line doesnt work

[Mike Duran]

When I try to run psake with the -properties argument I get the following error:

PS C:\temp> psake .\testbuild.ps1 default -properties @{"environment"="trunk"}

C:\Chocolatey\lib\psake.4.2.0.1\tools\psake.ps1 : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'properties'. Can

not convert the "System.Collections.Hashtable" value of type "System.String" to type "System.Collections.Hashtable".

Does

psake .\testbuild.ps1 default -properties @{environment="trunk"}

work?
