Bagger fails to start if parent directory has spaces (Windows) #48

Closed timhutch closed 6 years ago

timhutch commented 6 years ago

I am using Bagger 2.7.6 on Windows 7.

It appears that bagger expects the application directory to not have any spaces. I had originally extracted the application files to d:\digital preservation tools. Launching bagger triggered the error: "Could not find or load main class preservation"

Moving the bagger files to a directory with no spaces successfully works around the issue.

Thanks for submitting this bug. However, as it is currently stands I do not have enough information to fix this. Can you post the full stacktrace please? Can you provide step by step instructions on how to reproduce?

thanks

Can you point me to where the stacktrace would show up? I just got the error in the Windows command prompt window.

In any case, to reproduce:

install bagger on Windows in a folder like C:\Testing With Spaces
launch bagger via bin\bagger.bat

Result:

"Error: Could not find or load main class With"

Testing further, adding quotation marks around %APP_HOME% in the Execute bagger line of bagger.bat seems to resolve it: "%JAVA_EXE%" %DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS% %JAVA_OPTS% -Dapp.home="%APP_HOME%" ...
