i18n util fails if projects are run from a path with spaces in it

[supermoos]

Describe the bug After having followed the setup instructions, I'm trying to run ´npm run dev´ but it fails with this error:

site/_js/main.js, site/_js/100.js, site/_js/events.js, site/_js/styleguide.js, site/_js/fugu-showcase.js → dist/js...

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: clone the repo, run npm ci and then run npm run dev, error appears.

Expected behavior Site should build for dev.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 13.2.1 (22D68)
• Browser: Chrome Version 111.0.5563.64 (Official Build) (arm64)
  • Node: tried v14.21.3 (npm v6.14.18) and v18.15.0

Additional context Is there perhaps some step missing in the setup instructions?

That actually shouldn't happen. On which commit are you, for me to reproduce?

[supermoos]

Main branch, just pulled and there were som changes, but still the same error. Here's the latest pull log.

Do let me know if there's anything I can do to help resolve this bug.

So we managed to narrow down the bug. Seems the project doesn't like being run from a folder with spaces in. So because I had cloned it into "../Dropbox (Personal)/.." it didn't work.

[matthiasrohmer]

Thanks, @supermoos for narrowing it down. That's actually a bug we should fix.
