Post-build powershell script

Question

I have the following post-build event:

powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
powershell -file "$(SolutionDir)Obfuscation\_obfuscate.ps1" "$(SolutionDir)" "$(ProjectDir)"
powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted

and PS script beginning with:

param
(   
    [string]$slnDir,
    [string]$projectDir
)

when MSBuild trys to run it, my first parameter "$(SolutionDir)" is splitted in two parameters because the solution path contains a space character: D:\Projects\Dion2 Mercurial\repo\Dion2Web\. So my script receives D:\Projects\Dion2 as the first parameter and Mercurial\repo\Dion2Web\ as the second one.

What is the correct way to send those parameters to the script file?

Note: such post-build scripts works fine when script has only one parameter.

Try adjusting your post build event to use the following:

powershell -file "$(SolutionDir)Obfuscation\_obfuscate.ps1" -slnDir '$(SolutionDir)' -projectDir '$(ProjectDir)'

You can add the -ExecutionPolicy Bypass parameter if you don't want to change the execution policy permanently.
