The plugin is not working on windows machine

[DevHussein]

Dear Anand,

I was facing an issue in the plugin while doing "mvn clean install" for a project. It's failing at executeReadBar stage. After i do deep investigation I found out that the Process exiting with exitValue=1 due to not able to run the command on windows because of the command was not built properly it was like this:
"C:\Program Files\IBM\ACE\11.0.0.5\server\bin/mqsiprofile&&mqsireadbar -b C:\Users\myuser\IBM\ACET11\workspace\ExampleApp\target\ace\ExampleApp.bar -r"

I update the code in ValidateConfigurablePropertiesMojo class to build the command as bvelow way in in case of windows:
executable = "cd " + this.aceRunDir + " && mqsiprofile&&mqsireadbar";

[DEBUG] executing command file: C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp\readbarCommand-2f8cf671-f074-4393-9746-21e265d7158a.cmd
[DEBUG] executeMqsiApplyBarOverride command: cd C:\Program Files\IBM\ACE\11.0.0.5\server\bin && mqsiprofile&&mqsiapplybaroverride -b C:\Users\myuser\IBM\ACET11\workspace\ExampleApp\target\ace\ExampleApp.bar -o C:\Users\myuser\IBM\ACET11\workspace\ExampleApp\target\ace\DEV_0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.bar -p C:\Users\myuser\IBM\ACET11\workspace\ExampleApp\properties\DEV.properties -k ExampleApp -r -v C:\Users\myuser\IBM\ACET11\workspace\ExampleApp\target\applybaroverridetrace-DEV.txt

This is my observation and solution and the build was successful.
please your feedback.

Best regards,
Hussein

Hi Hussein,
Its probably happening due to a typo. For windows code snippet, please change the 'slash' to 'backward slash' at the line:
Current: executable = aceRunDir+"/mqsiprofile&&mqsiapplybaroverride";
It should be: executable = aceRunDir+"\mqsiprofile&&mqsiapplybaroverride";

This would be at few places. I have not tested this fix yet. Please test and let me know.

if (osName.contains("windows")){
cmdFile = new File(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") + File.separator + "readbarCommand-" + UUID.randomUUID() + ".cmd");
cmdFile.deleteOnExit();
executable = aceRunDir+"/mqsiprofile&&mqsiapplybaroverride";

    }else if(osName.contains("linux")){
    	
    	executable = ". "+aceRunDir+"/mqsiprofile&&mqsiapplybaroverride";
    	
    }
