TEMP folder with spaces breaks debugger process #822
Description
If you have a Windows 10 user name that has a space in it, e.g. "Radu Ion", your system TEMP folder will have a space in it and the configured class path, saved in the temp folder, will have a space in it which is not properly escaped. See my launch command configuration:
cd 'd:\RACAI\Workspace\ROBINDialog'; & 'c:\Users\Radu Ion.vscode\extensions\vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.26.0\scripts\launcher.bat' 'D:\openjdk-14.0.1\bin\java.exe' '-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y,address=localhost:55495' '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8' '@C:\Users\Radu' 'Ion\AppData\Local\Temp\cp_7phc6p6ihdi1ys4lgtonk8k91.argfile' 'ro.racai.robin.dialog.RDManager' 'src\main\resources\precis.mw'
Error: could not open `C:\Users\Radu'
The workaround is to set the TEMP folder to a folder that does not contain spaces, e.g. "C:\Temp".
I did not have this problem say a month ago.

The issue seems to be with automatically inherited (git) bash shell. Can be fixed by changing shell to
cmd.exe.palashencode commentedon Dec 7, 2020
Thanks pavel, it works that way, but its not really a fix though. Gitbash is the standard terminal i use for everything, and this seems to be a simple escaping path name issue.

You are right. I did not realize I am changing terminal for the whole platform, which is very very inconvenient. Changing terminal just for the debugger would be more acceptable workaround.
palashencode commentedon Dec 7, 2020
yes I tried that, it seems to work. I added this property in
settings.json, which changes the terminal just for automated tasks, which alleviates the issue to a good degree."terminal.integrated.automationShell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe"
