gate.bat fails when spaces in path #84

Closed greenwoodma closed 5 years ago

greenwoodma commented 5 years ago

I haven't investigated this much, but when trying to use gate.bat during FIG12 I got an error about a file not found where it was only reporting up to a space in the path. We probably just need an extra set of quotes somewhere.... and a windows machine on which to test the fix!

Or just remove the .bat file altogether as all it does is delegate to the .exe.

greenwoodma commented 5 years ago

Makes sense. I hadn't actually got as far as looking inside the .bat file to see what it did!

One question though... is there anyway to start GATE on windows from a console and see error messages? I was trying to debug an issue where the splash screen flashed up and then the JVM exited. With the gate.exe run from the console you don't see any errors. My hope had been the .bat would do that but I'm guessing not

Only really by doing java -jar gateLauncher.jar by hand from a CMD prompt, but that won't pull in the settings from gate.l4j.ini. There is an option --l4j-debug that you can pass to gate.exe but I'm not sure if that actually captures the Java stdout or just the launch4j mechanics prior to launching javaw

greenwoodma commented 5 years ago

right, and of course it's the fact that is uses javaw which means there is no chance of getting the logs out on the console. Will just remove the .bat file as cleanup
