failure to find plantuml.jar due to white space in file path

[jstrin]

When calling plantuml.jar, plot.plantuml the file path passed to system2 is not wrapped in quotes. resulting in the error "Unable to access jarfile C:/Users/FirstName"

It appears to be at lines 73 to 76 in the plot.plantuml.R file. I ran a local version updating the lines to wrap the path in double quotes which seemed to resolve the issue:

   cmd <- paste0(
     '-jar "',
     system.file("jar", "plantuml.jar", package = "plantuml"), '"'
  )

Thanks for reporting.

You are right - I assume, you have spaces in your path to the jar file?

Just pushed a fix to GitHub on master.

Thanks! just installed the updated version and works as expected.

Yes, I am using a work computer and IT set up user names with space between first and last name resulting in this issue recurring; I'm getting pretty good at spotting it.

Perfect - thanks for letting me know, that it works on windows.

If you are using this for a project which is open, I could add a link to it in the readme.

At the moment, I am exploring ways of improving the documentation practices for my team. If we end up using plantuml for any public projects, I will be sure to let you know. On a related note, I may end up putting together instructions for installing Graphviz on windows machines; would those be of use to you for package documentation?

Thanks - that would be great.
