Upgraded to 3.8.6 for Docker support.
Created a Run a Docker Container step to deploy to a Windows Server 2016 on AWS.
The docker container is deployed and runs fine when no Explicit Variable Mapping is used.
The docker container fails to run when even the simplest Explicit Variable Mapping is used, like blah=“blah”, with the following error

Performing `docker run` command on 'Test-DockerServer'

Write-Host : Parameter cannot be processed because the parameter name 'e' is

Run Transaction Core Service Test container on Test-DockerServer
I intercepted the Script.ps1 generated for the deployment and tried to run it line by line to diagnose the issue at line 3
Write-Host docker run -d --restart no --label Octopus.Release.Number="0.0.11" --label Octopus.Project.Id="Projects-3" --label Octopus.Environment.Id="Environments-41" --label Octopus.Deployment.Id="Deployments-931" --label Octopus.Action.Id="fc7c87fb-c21d-47e3-9d84-ee4ee42c32b8" 9999999999999.dkr.ecr.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/microservices/transaction-core-service-test:1.0.0.35 pause
it runs fine without any environmental variables passed in, but fails with the same error in powershell with the simplest of -e "blah=blah"
Write-Host docker run -d --restart no --label Octopus.Release.Number="0.0.11" --label Octopus.Project.Id="Projects-3" --label Octopus.Environment.Id="Environments-41" --label Octopus.Deployment.Id="Deployments-931" --label Octopus.Action.Id="fc7c87fb-c21d-47e3-9d84-ee4ee42c32b8" -e "blah=blah" 9999999999999.dkr.ecr.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/microservices/transaction-core-service-test:1.0.0.35 pause
To fix, simply enclose the printed command in single quotation marks as follows
Write-Host 'docker run -d --restart no --label Octopus.Release.Number="0.0.11" --label Octopus.Project.Id="Projects-3" --label Octopus.Environment.Id="Environments-41" --label Octopus.Deployment.Id="Deployments-931" --label Octopus.Action.Id="fc7c87fb-c21d-47e3-9d84-ee4ee42c32b8" -e "blah=blah" 9999999999999.dkr.ecr.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/microservices/transaction-core-service-test:1.0.0.35 pause'
See http://serverfault.com/questions/47811/what-is-the-literal-escape-character-in-powershell
Please fix this asap, as my work is blocked. Please also let me know if there is anything I can do with my Octopus installation to unblock myself in the meantime.
