Package.json parsing %APPDATA% whitespace errors

[JoeSwindell]

This is a known issue and the fix has already been merged into the official Microsoft Repo.

dotnet/spa-templates#35

The path needs to be wrapped in quotes:

--ssl-cert changes:

--ssl-cert %APPDATA%\\ASP.NET\\https\\%npm_package_name%.pem

becomes

--ssl-cert \"%APPDATA%\\ASP.NET\\https\\%npm_package_name%.pem\"

--ssl-key changes:

--ssl-key %APPDATA%\\ASP.NET\\https\\%npm_package_name%.key

become

--ssl-key \"%APPDATA%\\ASP.NET\\https\\%npm_package_name%.key\"

NOTICE: you end up with double quotes at the end of the line! This is correct.

"start": "ng serve --ssl --ssl-cert \"%APPDATA%\\ASP.NET\\https\\%npm_package_name%.pem\" --ssl-key \"%APPDATA%\\ASP.NET\\https\\%npm_package_name%.key\"",

Thank you Joe, I was lost for a moment!

The url of the link in the post is wrong. I had to use the text of the link. I am using VS 17.4.3 and it seems the quotes haven't made it yet in the template.
