Unable to run in bash shell

https://github.com/tonerdo/coverlet/blob/75a43d2a39a8733289875c3b00ebdbb64adc4385/src/coverlet.msbuild/coverlet.msbuild.props#L11

Output gets formatted with \ resulting in trying to write to a directory not supported by non-CMD terminals. Additionally, running without /p:CoverletOutputDirecotory results in Project file does not exist error.

Not sure how to work around this, or if it’s possible given that this value is hardcoded.

@paulers I was running into a similar issue going from git bash shell to my jenkins running linux and dotnet core. I ended up creating a MSBuild Response file (msbuild.rsp) and referencing that in the command line. It’s a new line separated file where you can define arguments you want msbuild to use. This is what I have in mine (named coverage.rsp)

/p:DebugType=full
/p:CollectCoverage=true
/p:CoverletOutputFormat=opencover

Then the command-line or your bash script would will now look like this:

dotnet test TestProject/TestProject.csproj -c Release --no-build @coverage.rsp

Git bash replaces forward with backward slashes a bit indiscriminately. See https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/2785 . I have like a hundred dollar bounty on this issue if anyone’s bored.
