Can not start Nightwatch in angular project where located with space in the folder name

Description of the bug/issue

It seems the path problem contains space in the folder name. But I didn't find any option where I could overwrite it. I am new to Nightwatch, and we want to enable ng e2e for our project due to the protractor being deprecated after angular v15. We switch to Nightwatch.

here is the root path (there is a space in "SS Web"): C:\Users\tester\source\repos\BA\SS Web\Source\S1.P1\Portal

when I try to reinstall Nightwatch with "ng add @nightwatch/schematics" I am getting stuck on step 3

Steps to reproduce

run ng e2e command then I am getting an error (see Verbose Output)

Sample test

import { NightwatchBrowser } from 'nightwatch';

module.exports = {
  before: (browser: NightwatchBrowser) => {
    browser.url(browser.launch_url);
  },

  after: (browser: NightwatchBrowser) => {
    browser.end();
  },

  'should check heading contains text Nightwatch.js': (browser: NightwatchBrowser) => {
    browser.assert.containsText('#top-section h1', 'Nightwatch.js');
  }
};

Command to run

ng e2e
