Handling of username with spaces on windows

[bracke]

Hi

My windows username contains a space (its my full name), which ember-cli-update can't handle.
My project directory is a subfolder in Documents and therefore the full path contains my username.
The problem occurs both when running codemods and when updating.

If I move the projekt to the root of the drive, update works but codemods still fail, because they try to use the AppData folder.

Kind regards
Bent Bracke

Can you provide more info? Perhaps a stack trace? The issue template when you filed should have given you instructions.

I have run:
set DEBUG=ember-cli-update,boilerplate-update,git-diff-apply && ember-cli-update --run-codemods

and selected the codemod "ember-modules-codemod".
Note how it has divided the path into separate paths:

verbose cli   'C:\\Users\\Bent',
1 verbose cli   'Bracke\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm-cache\\_npx\\24296',

0 info it worked if it ends with ok
1 verbose cli [ 'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe',

Cool thanks. That should be fixable.

[kellyselden]

Unfortunately it's an npx bug npm/npx#6, and it appears it's not getting fixed. Perhaps we need to consider not using npx.

This may fix your setup zkat/npx#146 (comment). Let me know if it doesn't.
