             Summary: Android build on Windows fails with spaces in "\Program Files"
                 Key: CB-5950
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5950
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0
         Environment: Windows 8.1
            Reporter: Jon Watte


I downloaded and installed the latest nodejs for Windows (0.10.25,) latest JDK (1.7.0_51), latest Android SDK (19), and latest apache-ant (1.9.3) and created a new project as per the quickstart instructions.
Creating the project and adding the android platform works fine.
However, "cordova build" fails with an error:

Generating config.xml from defaults for platform "android"
Preparing android project
Compiling app on platform "android" via command "cmd" /c C:\IMVU\example\example\platforms\android\cordova\build

C:\Users\jwatte\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova\node_modules\q\q.js:126
                    throw e;
                          ^

Running the build file manually prints some more information; the error happens when trying to run "dx" and it claims "C:\Program" is not an internal or external command.

There are many previous bugs about "doesn't work with spaces in paths," so this seems like a regression. Spaces in paths are a fact of live on Windows, as is to dorky quoting rules for COMMAND.COM, so it would seem that a basic acceptance test that tests everything with the latest of all the dependencies on an otherwise fresh system should catch these things. If Windows is an important host for cordova developers, perhaps that would be a worthwhile investment?
