windows command line and spaces in display name = argument not parsed correctly

[dom...@gmail.com]

Hi,

 

I would like to install a Windows service that host TopShelf interface.

 

I use the following command line :

 

MyService.exe install -displayname:"Js Service 9.0" -servicename:Js_Service_9_0 -instance:000

 

And I get the following error:

Topshelf.HostFactory Error: 0 : The service terminated abnormally, Topshelf.HostConfigurationException: The service was not properly configured:
[Failure] Command Line An unknown command-line option was found: ARGUMENT: Service
[Failure] Command Line An unknown command-line option was found: ARGUMENT: 9.0"
[Success] Name Js_Service_9_0
[Success] DisplayName "Js (Instance: 000)
[Success] Description Processes the job requests.
[Success] InstanceName 000
[Success] ServiceName Js_Service_9_0$000
   at Topshelf.Configurators.ValidateConfigurationResult.CompileResults(IEnumerable`1 results)
   at Topshelf.HostFactory.New(Action`1 configureCallback)
   at Topshelf.HostFactory.Run(Action`1 configureCallback)

 

As you can see it doesn't get the right value from command line even if I encapsuled the value between double quote chars.

 

I guess I'm doing something wrong, please tell me what.

 

Thanks

I also tried that :

MyService.exe install "-displayname:Js Service 9.0" -servicename:Js_Service_9_0 -instance:000

 

But I get the same problem, note that the args[] collection is fine the main method, that means that the problem is inside TopShelf when parsing args :(

Ok it works, it seems that I need to encapsulate all arguments between double quote.

The syntax is:

-displayname "My Display Name"

-displayName:DisplayNameWithoutSpaces

Those are the two ways that definitions are handled. 

Switches are:

--toggle --something --here
