Thanks for the feedback. We won't attempt to fix this, as we are investing in a new web-based IDE for the future, and as you noted, a workaround is to not use a folder with symbols in the name. I will leave the issue open though, as documentation of the workaround.
Describe the bug
Keyman Developer 17 uses this ancient joke of a shell called command prompt, which fails at simple things like symbols in paths (ironic for a keyboard project heavy on symbols), so if you install it in a path containing
&
then building a keyboard invokeskmc.cmd
, which uses command prompt and fails with a very helpful message ofThe system cannot find the path specified.
without even indicating that itskmc.cmd
that's at faultReproduce the bug

Expected behavior
Just call node directly from the app, why do you need to shell out?

Quick googling on how to escape

and launching from there works
