Jenkins build error

[bryanforst]

I am using the build.ps1 script to eventually create a custom CEFSharp build.
For my first tests I am just going to build an existing branch, in this case cefsharp91

If I run builds.ps1 from a cmd (standard not admin) prompt on my windows build machine it works just fine.

However when I run the same command from a Jenkins windows command it seems to have problems
getting the location of my java install correct. See the output below:

Has anyone run into this problem?

One theory i have is the startup user of the Jenkins server is different from the one I use when running it manually. Will have to check with devops to get that changed.

However when I run the same command from a Jenkins windows command it seems to have problems
getting the location of my java install correct. See the output below:

I've never tried Jenkins, the CI builds here run on AppVeyor.

Looks like there is a problem running cmd.exe, my only suggestion would be to try using an absolute path.

The file it is trying to run is vcvarsall.bat x86.
That file is throwing the error with the incorrect java path
Now that Ive focused on that Im seeing issues with Jenkins around this, so nothing to be done on CEFSharp side:

Found the solution.

Jenkins appends the java and other program locations to the PATH setting in dos.
Java on this machine is 32bit so the folder has a space in it. Jenkins wraps the path in quotes which screws up the build.ps1 process.

Solution i found is here:

at its simplest means adding
set path=%path:"=%
