Question

I tried using the post-build batch file(s) to automatically upload my plugin to my local installation for testing purposes, as described here under "Add the Build Step to the Project", and I'm getting an error because of a space in my plugin project's name.

My post-build command-line is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FogBugz\Plugins\examples_postbuildSln.bat" "$(TargetName)"

And the result as found in the output:

  Creating My Plugin.zip...

  Searching bin
  Searching .
  adding .\FogCreek.Plugins.InterfaceEvents.dll...
  Saving....
  That zip file (My Plugin.zip) already exists.
  adding .\SharpMimeTools.dll...
  Saving....
  That zip file (My Plugin.zip) already exists.
  Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: That file or directory (.\My) does not exist!
     at Ionic.Utils.Zip.ZipFile.UpdateItem(String itemName, String directoryPathInArchive)
     at Ionic.Utils.Zip.Examples.ZipIt.Main(String[] args)

Also, before getting this error, I ran into another problem with the spaces that was fixed by putting double-quotes around $(TargetName) in the post-build command-line (the step-through I linked to above should probably be updated to note this).

I've updated the documentation on the wiki page you linked to, but I haven't been able to reproduce the problem you're reporting with any of my plugins.

Also, as a workaround, if you modify your Visual Studio Project's properties to not have have any spaces in the "Assembly Name" property, you should be able to avoid this problem altogether.
