toNativeSeparators() does not evaluate installer values properly

    • Qt Installer Sprint 49

    Description

      When having TargetDir with specific separator types (i.e. forward slashes), calling installer.toNativeSeparators("@TargetDir@") does not fix the separator types as the @TargetDir@ is not evaluated until later.

      Not working code:

      // assume @TargetDir@ is "C:/temp"

var targetDir = "@TargetDir@";
var fullPath = targetDir + "/additional/path";
console.log("Path: " + installer.toNativeSeparators(fullPath));

      This would print out:

      Path: C:/temp\additional\path

      This can be worked around by getting the @TargetDir@ before calling the toNativeSeparators:

      var targetDir = installer.value("TargetDir");
var fullPath = targetDir + "/additional/path";
console.log("Path: " + installer.toNativeSeparators(fullPath));
