When there is a space in the name field in pdxinfo, the standard Playdate: Debug launch no longer works and the simulator doesn't even open. I see this in the logs:
(Note the lack of quotes around the path to the pdx).
Furthermore, changing the output field in launch.json had no effect either. It did not change the path to the pdx as run by PlaydateSimulator. The only effective solution I found was to rename the game in pdxinfo to have no space. (Consulted on Discord. This was due to having the "orta" playdate extension also installed and is unrelated.)
