Strange placeholder problem [exactpath] [fullpath] [path] filled - [file] [filename] is empty in command/arguments

[tobfel]

Hi,

I have a stange problem for the following task:

I need to listen to File-Saves from DevIDE (Delphi - the Ide creates a temp file and replaces (Delete and Rename) it to the destination name). This file should be moved to the parent folder, what is working. After the move a symlink should be created to the moved file as "[exactpath]" The Problem is that the placeholder [file] [filename] are not filled in command-arguement, so i can not construct the destination-path for the mklink command.

If i do the Task in notepad an save a file ".$$$" it is working. I don't see a reason, because in my option if the exactpath is filled, all the other parts can be extraced. Is there any FileIO Access done for filling the placeholders?

Attached the Logs from both operations.
I have also tried, to it as workflow but no change.

Sadly i am not a c#-dev and have not dev environment to check/fix the problem by myself. Is it possible to compile the app via vs-code / c#-dev, with current .net sdk 8/9? I tried but get many errors. Any simple build instructions available?

FYI: I have done it via a workaround -> command:

  <path>[env:ComSpec]</path>
  <arguments>/c D:\FileWatcherTest\createLinkForWatcher.cmd "[exactpath]"</arguments> 

Cmd-File:

@echo off
set "exactpath=%1"

For %%A in (%exactpath%) do (
    Set "path=%%~dpA"
    Set "file=%%~nxA"
    Set "filename=%%~nA"    
)

mklink /h "%path%%filename%.pas" "%path%..\%filename%.pas"
