I am currently unable to push to scratch org if a report name start with letter D.
Everything gets pushed
Following error related to char escaping :
ERROR running force:source:push:

^
ERROR at Row:1:Column:85
Invalid string literal 'unfiled$public\Demo_time_per_lead_1Yb'. Illegal character sequence '\D' in string literal.

I have the same issue with \C:
ERROR running force:source:push:

^
ERROR at Row:1:Column:85
Invalid string literal 'SupervisorReports\Closed_Case_Report1'. Illegal character sequence '\C' in string literal.
Same issue, I moved Report from Public Folder to New Custom Folder.

OK, so basically un unescapped \ ruins everything.
Found the bug. Actually, this string is being parsed as a query inside Salesforce, as we can see by the output.
What I did, as a temp fix (version 7.30.12-9919bf456f), was editing the "sourceConvertApi.js" file, in the sfdx main installation folder (sfdx\client\7.30.12-9919bf456f\node_modules\salesforce-almdist\lib\source\sourceConvertApi.js).
Line 31:
const singleQuoteJoin = arr => arr.map(val => `'${val}'`).join();
Edited into:
const singleQuoteJoin = arr => arr.map(val => `'${val.replace('\\', '\\\\')}'`).join();
Basically, just escaped the backslash.
@Gruck Thank you for pointing this out. I am putting it on our backlog now.
I have tried that fix, and I hasn't fixed anything. I have somehow ended up with duplicate report details in my source and deleting one, deleting a folder or renaming the report file name all result in this error and I'm now stuck. I did close VS Code and re-open it after making the change. I'm also on Windows 10.
Aha! The work around by @jamesmelville on #165 actually works!
Workaround: manually delete entries from sourcePathInfos.json, and manually delete from org, pull & push.
I'm seeing likely this same bug, but then on a Document metadata type:
PS C:\Users\maria\Documents\DX\hr2day-dx> sfdx force:source:push
ERROR running force:source:push:
SourceMember WHERE MemberName IN ('employer_logo\a0P8A000001gM8lUAE_202002204000025')
^
ERROR at Row:1:Column:85
Invalid string literal 'employer_logo\a0P8A000001gM8lUAE_202002204000025'. Illegal character sequence '\a' in string literal.
The workaround that @JodieM suggested worked in this instance too.
Can you provide an estimate when a bugfix will find its way to a release?
@clairebianchi do you have an update?
@OscarScholten I have this on our backlog for the summer release.
