1. Install fish-shell (http://fishshell.com/) and use it as your default
shell, although it may be enough to launch emacs from inside fish.

2. emacs -Q

3. M-x rgrep RET

4. any string RET

5. any directory RET

Expected result:

grep is invoked on the given directory and files are returned.

Actual result:

find: missing argument to `-exec'

I believe this is because the fish shell interprets the "{}" as a brace
expansion -- see
http://fishshell.com/docs/current/index.html#expand-brace -- and needs
the braces to be escaped. Editing the grep command using C-u and
inserting quotes around the braces makes it work as expected.

Yes, braces should be escaped in commands to be processed by a shell.

But shell-quote-argument is not documented to support fish shell, is
it?  I think the problem is that the OP somehow sets up that shell as
the one used by Emacs when invoking shell commands, which is not a
recommended practice.

I'm not sure we can assume a quoted argument can be safely
concatenated to an unquoted one.  (Yes, I know the original code used
that for the semi-colon.)

I can't say I'm happy with this solution, sorry.  But thanks for
working on this problem.

That was premature, please leave some time for people to respond to
the proposed solution.  Especially when the issue involves
portability.

Is there any reason why mapconcat + shell-quote-arguments doesn't work here?
