Error: openvpn3-autoload: error: argument --key: No such file or directory (If the file name contains spaces)

[Jiw0cha]

Hi. Step to reproduce: add to file name space: 'ovpn config.key' Edit the config file: key '/etc/openvpn/client/ovpn config.key' or key "/etc/openvpn/client/ovpn config.key"

Run: openvpn3-autoload --directory ... And get error: Error: openvpn3-autoload: error: argument --key: No such file or directory ' "/etc/openvpn/client/ovpn config.key" '

And it's enough to get an error to specify in the file path (" ") or (' ')

Can you please set ("export") this env. variable OPENVPN3_DEBUG=1 and rerun openvpn3-autoload. This should give a better backtrace of the error.

It won't work. https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux/blob/master/src/python/openvpn3-autoload#L101 tracebak not use ....

But if you want it that way, everything seems to be obvious, i add line print(traceback.format_exc())
