Issue with --notebook-dir argument in Scanpy vignette #82

Closed chmreid closed 4 years ago

chmreid commented 4 years ago

Problem

The readme for the scanpy vignette (link) includes instructions to start the notebook that include the following command:

$ jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=`pwd`

The problem is, the directory in which this lives has spaces in the name, so this command will fail with

[C 11:00:11.468 NotebookApp] No such notebook dir: ''/Users/charles/codes/data-consumer-vignettes/Explore''

Proposed Solution

An ideal solution is renaming the folders so they don't have spaces in their names.

Alternatively, can change the notebook command in the readme to

$ jupyter notebook --notebook-dir="$(pwd)"

which surrounds the path with double quotes.
