Thanks Andy for your response. Unfortunately, modifying the arguments as per
your suggestion didn't help.
As I described earlier, even though <arg line="@{type} @{configDir}"/> is
mentioned the same way (without multiple <arg line statements), and if
@{configDir} contains the directory path without spaces, the build is
successful. Only when @{configDir} contains spaces the build fails.
Thanks,

Instead of
<arg line="@{type} @{configDir}"/>
how about using
<arg value="@{type}"/>
<arg value="@{configDir}"/>
instead? As the docs say, value "can contain space characters" while
line is "space-delimited" and "It is highly recommended to avoid the
line version when possible." I don't see anything that says you can
only have a single nested arg element.
Andy.
