Describe the bug

Conform can't use a formatter because of how it handles paths with spaces. Why do I think it's because of the spaces? Just look at the 1st error in the log file, it truncates "C:\Users\Kuba M" (my windows user) to "C:\Users\Kuba" (which is an invalid user). The "stylua" formatter is located in "C:\Users\Kuba M\Documents\kuba\path".

What is the severity of this bug?

breaking (some functionality is broken)

Steps To Reproduce

Just install this plugin, and have a path to the formatter in PATH variable that contains spaces, e.g. "C:\Users\Kuba M\Documents\kuba\path"

Expected Behavior

I expect it to handle spaces and format my code.

I would appreciate an update for this, I am facing the same issue... Is there any workaround for now?

Unfortunately I haven't found any workaround for this problem. Now I have a new Windows system with a fixed username, so I can't help any more.

Duplicate of #252. Looks like an upstream issue in Neovim or libuv
