Argument grouping bug

[Red44]

Grouping error

I am currently trying this on Windows 11 and noticed, that ' is not working as it shut, grouping spaced commands into a singular argument.

Example:

cargo watch -x 'build --release'

---

Results in:

error: Found argument '--release'' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

USAGE:
    cargo watch [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

For more information try --help

---

Am I using the tool wrong, or is this assumption correct, that this is a bug?

Kind regards Jakob

You are not technically using the tool wrong, and this is not a bug! This is, most likely, shell quoting issues. See e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/324278/how-to-make-windows-command-prompt-treat-single-quote-as-though-it-is-a-double-q
