Internal double quotes in run() command arguments are removed in Windows

[luciorq]

The handling of internal quotes passed to run() arguments looks different on Windows and Linux/Unix, needs to investigate more.

Currently it was found because it breaks one test defined in: Env Var test

library(condathis)
create_env(packages = c("r-base=4.1.3"), env_name = "condathis-test-env", verbose = "full")

The following Execution behaves normally on Windows:

Important

This Example works on Windows

  withr::with_envvar(
    new = list(`MY_VAR_1` = "HELLO FROM OUTSIDE"),
    code = {
      px_res <- run(
        "R", "-q", "-s", "-e", "print(Sys.getenv('MY_VAR_1'))",
        env_name = "condathis-test-env",
        verbose = "full"
      )
    }
  )

But replacing the internal quotes of "print(Sys.getenv('MY_VAR_1'))" for 'print(Sys.getenv("MY_VAR_1"))', breaks on windows.

Caution

The following example DOES NOT work on windows

  withr::with_envvar(
    new = list(`MY_VAR_1` = "HELLO FROM OUTSIDE"),
    code = {
      px_res <- run(
        "R", "-q", "-s", "-e", 'print(Sys.getenv("MY_VAR_1"))',
        env_name = "condathis-test-env",
        verbose = "full"
      )
    }
  )
