[Windows] Spaces in the path to Rails project causes autotest to choke

[charlesroper]

I'm using autotest-growl with Rails on Windows and it works just fine unless there is a space in the path to my Rails project. Here's the error I get:

http://gist.github.com/307070

The pertinent bit is No such file or directory - D:/Users/charlesr/Documents/My (Errno::ENOENT) where you can see the path has been truncated at the space.

i dont think its a widows issue, just a spaces issue.
You should not have spaces in your paths, you will run in many of those issues with different libraries...
but ill try to fix it soon.

fixed in 4.2.8

I'm still getting the same error in 4.2.8:

ahh i think the spec does not cover mtime-checking, just one clean run...
ill try to fix it again :)

[grosser]

aaaah :D
its an autospec problem :)
autospec does not escape the filenames properly, nothing autotest can do afaik
can you open an issue at the rspec project ?

[charlesroper]

Ahh, I didn't realise autospec was part of rspec. I've just found the wiki. Whew, there are quite a lot of moving parts in all this, eh? :)

[grosser]

Yep, lot of stuff that builds on autotest, makes refactoring hard and causes issus :)
