Issue Description

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  inputs:
    command: 'test'
    arguments: '-- TestRunParameters.Parameter(name=%22EdiStagingFunctionsKey%22,value=%22key2%22) TestRunParameters.Parameter(name=%22EdiAADKey%22,value=%22key1%22)'

This is the only way I am able to pass TestRunParameters to the run. This was reported here: https://github.com/microsoft/vstest/issues/2387 and the escaping was fixed in vstest and dotnet sdk, but some additional rules are applied on the AzDO task side. Because for example \ is replaced by / and quotes are eaten by the task. So it is not true that what works on the command line works in the task (mentioned here https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues/10712#issuecomment-552195220 ) and none of the approaches described there worked for me, except for providing the quotes as URL escapes %22.

Ideally the user would be able to copy paste from the command line, where \" is the way to escape the quotes properly.

WORKAROUND Will work with “.NET Core”-Build-Task with Command “test” on on-premise server 2019.0.1. Later not tested. But maybe…

-- "TestRunParameters.Parameter(name=\\\"<name1>\\\", value=\\\"<value1>\\\")" "TestRunParameters.Parameter(name=\\\"<name2>\\\", value=\\\"<value2>\\\")"
