Scrivomatic fails to process files with spaces in the name #12

Closed oWretch closed 6 years ago

oWretch commented 6 years ago

Hi Ian,

I've noticed that Scrivomatic is not happy when passed an input file with a space in the name (e.g., My File.md). It doesn't matter if I escape the space with \, or enclose the name in double quotes. Either way, Scrivomatic fails with

!!!---Scrivomatic: could not find My\ File.tex

Is it possible to add support for file names with spaces?

OK, let me have a look at this, it should be able to handle this (I use a ruby shell library to do this but I may be doing something wrong somewhere else)...

@oWretch — Hi, I can't actually reproduce this, if I use:

❯ scrivomatic -v Behaviour\ Platform.txt

I get the input properly escaped. I am using the ShellWords library on all input and it should properly handle spaces whether they are escaped or not. I also tried:

❯ scrivomatic -v "Behaviour Platform.txt"
❯ scrivomatic -v -i Behaviour\ Platform.txt
❯ scrivomatic -v -i "Behaviour Platform.txt"

They also all worked. Perhaps you are using an older scrivomatic or ruby? Please let me know what version of ruby (ruby -v) and scrivomatic (scrivomatic -h) you are using...

I'll go ahead and close this, do let me know if you still see it and we can reopen...

It's working correctly for me now after updating to 498ea96.

Thanks Ian.
