too short control escape

[ghost]

I had Chef 12 working with Windows 2008 R2 the other week, but when I tried it again today, I receive this error while using test kitchen on two separate cookbooks:

       Recipe: minitest-handler::default
         * chef_gem[ci_reporter] action nothing (skipped due to action :nothing)
         * chef_gem[minitest] action nothing (skipped due to action :nothing)
         * chef_gem[minitest-chef-handler] action nothing (skipped due to action :nothing)
         * directory[delete minitest test location] action delete (up to date)

           - create new directory /var/chef/minitest

           end

It looks like only part of the path is being escaped. This is using both chef 12.5.1 and 12.4.3.

I'm able to repro this under 12.5.1 as well.

OK, so at least I'm not crazy. Maybe a ruby version thing?

[dpetzel]

Doesn't appear to be the case, as I can repro on 11.x as well. It seems to be the way TK is constructing the cookbook path. Should have a fix a little later after a little more testing

[dpetzel]

1.5.0 (just released) should take care of this.
