[jlvcm]

Environment

Joplin version: 2.8.8
Platform: Linux

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a shell, any shell should work (bash/zsh/fish)
2. Try to create a note or todo with a space

> joplin mktodo "first second third"
> joplin ls
[ ] first

Describe what you expected to happen

I've tried a bunch of different ways to create a note but i was not able to using the terminal, on the joplin-cli works fine, if i do

:mktodo "first second third"

It gets created correctly as "first second third"

@laurent22 Would it be alright if I looked into this? I'm a bit of a novice contributor, but I can see that it's working in v2.8.1 (on Ubuntu), so I can try to figure out what changed between 2.8.8 and 2.8.1 to fix it.

Actually, I tried recreating this issue from the dev branch, but I couldn't recreate it.

(Although I'm not entirely sure if this is the write way to test the cli tool).

you'r right

• i've tried dev and it worked fine
• i've tried the branch for version 2.8.8 and it worked fine
• i've tried the 2.8.8 build and it worked fine
• I've even tried my joplin install directly and it worked fine

i think the issue is with the running script from AUR, so probably joplin is fine

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/joplin.sh?h=joplin
i believe the issue is here ${@}, it should be node main.js "${@}" , after this change it works fine.

thanks for the help!
