Commandline arguments parsed improperly

[hadek314]

What You Are Seeing?

In my nuspec I have variables:

$src$ and $bin$

It looks like this:

<file src="$src$\tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1" target="tools"/>

 <file src="$src$\tools\chocolateyUninstall.ps1" target="tools"/>

 <file src="$bin$\bin\**\*" target="bin-service"/>

What is Expected?

Running this:

choco pack filename.nuspec

Generates error:

The replacement token 'src' has no value

However this:

choco pack filename.nuspec src="testpath"

Generates error:

File specified is either not found or not a .nuspec file. 'filename.nuspec src=testpath'

Adding any other flag between nuspec file name and parameter does not change the error. For example:

choco pack filename.nuspec --version 0.0.3 src="testpath"

generates the same error.

Note that parser picks out '--' variable but then concatenates the nuspec file name and key=val as if the combined string was the complete path to nuspec file.

I'm going to close this issue but maybe someone needs to take a look at it later and/or handle errors better.
It turned out that nuspec had the following string for version "1.1.x". When launched 'pack' like this:
choco pack filename.nuspec the first error it presented was about lack of $src$ substitution. When I provided substitution to $src$ and $bin$ the error should have been that XML Element "version" was invalid. Instead it was presenting error with strangely concatenated nuspec name.

Bottom line there is a bug but it's in error handling when XML element value is not valid.

@hadek314 in case someone gets a chance to look at this, can you please provide a sample nuspec that illustrates the problem that you are seeing?
