I have the same Bash script that I am running on Linux, Mac, and Windows (with Git Bash).
How can I make sure that the path is converted to a Windows-style path ONLY if running in Git Bash?
java -classpath "./path-1/subdir:./path-2" com.example.Main
CodePudding user response:
You can test for the presence of cygpath
:
classpath="./path-1/subdir:./path-2"
if which cygpath > /dev/null; then
classpath="$(cygpath -C ANSI -w -p "${classpath}")"
fi
java -classpath "${classpath}" com.example.Main
But check first if you even need that conversion: in a bash shell script (even with Git For Windows bash), a Unix-style path will work when calling scripts/executables. However, strings passed as arguments are passed as-is.
