Windows username with spaces

TupaNegreiros commented 4 years ago

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10 1909 18363.572

Client: No needed

Barrier Version

2.3.2

Steps to reproduce bug

Login on Windows with a username with spaces. A user with home folder as something "c:\users\name surname". Run Barrier as server. If you use configuration file on a folder with spaces in the name, or with interactive configuration (so it saves a file on Temp folder, with spaces in home folder). Get log as:

DEBUG: opening configuration "C:/Users/Name Surname/AppData/Local/Temp/Barrier.FpXkJO" DEBUG: cannot open configuration "C:/Users/Name Surname/AppData/Local/Temp/Barrier.FpXkJO" barriers.exe: no configuration available

Other info

Only work around is to save configuration to a folder without spaces, no way to use interactive. It's possible to config with interactive mode, save config to a folder and use it.

Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? Yes I had the same problem with Synergy, needed to debug to find out about "cannot open configuration", then tryed without spaces.

Is the issue still there? I've tried to reproduce it with 2.3.3 and configuration file placed in D:/Some space/Config.sgc and it works properly:

[2021-05-22T14:27:05] DEBUG: opening configuration "D:/Some space/Config.sgc"
[2021-05-22T14:27:05] DEBUG: configuration read successfully
[2021-05-22T14:27:05] DEBUG1: starting server

Granted: it's not the “same” folder, but it definitely does have space in its name.
