Failure on spaces for strings

[simplesteph]

Seems to fail when entering a string with spaces

My proto:

message Blog {
    string id = 1;
    string author_id = 2;
    string title = 3;
    string content = 4;
}

message CreateBlogRequest {
    Blog blog = 1; // the id shouldn't matter
}

message CreateBlogResponse {
    Blog blog = 1; // the id will correspond to the one in MongoDB
}

service BlogService {
    rpc CreateBlog(CreateBlogRequest) returns (CreateBlogResponse){};
}

You have to quote the input string.
For example,

name (TYPE_STRING) => foo bar
invalid input string

name (TYPE_STRING) => 'foo bar'
{
  "message": "hello, foo bar"
}

name (TYPE_STRING) => "foo bar"
{
  "message": "hello, foo bar"
}

name (TYPE_STRING) => '"foo bar"'
{
  "message": "hello, \"foo bar\""
}

any chance we don't have to quote the string (as a feature)? It's un-intuitive from a UX perspective IMO.

Just you said, it is not user-friendly.
I'm planning to change this feature to be able to input without quoting.

thanks a lot, good luck!

In Evans 0.6.8, you can input without quoting!
Please try it out.
