Application does not run in a path that contains spaces

[timmattison]

While starting up the application in a fresh environment I got this error:

/Users/timmattison/Google Drive/gu-who/target/universal/stage/bin/gu-who: line 12: cd: /Users/timmattison/Google: No such file or directory
/Users/timmattison/Google Drive/gu-who/target/universal/stage/bin/gu-who: line 12: cd: /Users/timmattison/Google: No such file or directory

/Users/timmattison/Google Drive/gu-who/target/universal/stage/bin/gu-who: line 356: cd: /Users/timmattison/Google Drive/gu-who/gu-who/..: No such file or directory
Error: Could not find or load main class play.core.server.NettyServer

It looks like double quotes might fix that (unless someone has double quotes in the dir name) or some other kind of escaping.

I think this an issue specific to the sbt launcher script (which is not part of the gu:who project) - looks like you're using the Mac OS X version? I tried a quick run on Ubuntu Linux in a directory with spaces - it worked fine:

$ mkdir "get spaced"
roberto@candle:~/development$ cd get\ spaced/

I'll close this issue as it's unrelated to gu:who, but it might be worth you raising it against the https://github.com/sbt/sbt-launcher-package project if you can isolate this down to a small test case.
