Calabash in directory with spaces in path

[mabromuela88]

Why do calabash fails when there is a space in its directory path where it resides? It throws 'Could not find or load main class' and ClassNotFoundException.

How do you invoke it? There are some related issues, for example transpect/docx2tex#81, but they seem to be solved already.

I invoke it through an automating script written in Java. I use Windows OS hence run the calabash.bat file. Here is the code snippet:

ProcessBuilder pb1 = new ProcessBuilder("cmd.exe", "/c", "calabash\\calabash.bat -o result=\"/" + outputTexPath + ".tex\" -i source=\"/" + inputFile + ".xml\" -i conf=\"/" + confFile + ".xml\" xml2tex/xpl/xml2tex.xpl");
pb1.redirectErrorStream(true);

I can reproduce it with calabash.bat in a space-containing directory

Which branch of https://github.com/transpect/calabash-frontend/ are you using? I see that the necessary fix, that is, quotation marks around %classpath%, is already present in https://github.com/transpect/calabash-frontend/blob/master/calabash.bat#L42

I am using calabash.bat from the one I cloned from xml2tex repo

xml2tex doesn’t ship with calabash, docx2tex does. Well, you can edit whatever calabash.bat that you have there and replace %classpath% with "%classpath%".

If I change %classpath% with "%classpath%" I get

Only options can occur on the command line after the pipeline document.
Usage: com.xmlcalabash.drivers.Main [switches/options] [pipeline.xpl] [options]
   or: com.xmlcalabash.drivers.Main [switches/options] { [inputs/parameters] ste
p [options] }+

Hmm. Maybe you need to insert more " characters. Try it in the following line (line 31 in the calabash.bat that I’m looking at):

@set config="%scriptdir%extensions/transpect/transpect-config.xml"

It worked!!!

Excellent. Thank you for reporting it.
