[jira] [Commented] (CB-5950) Android build on Windows fails with spaces in "\Program Files"

["Jon Watte (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5950?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13886818#comment-13886818 ] 

Jon Watte commented on CB-5950:
-------------------------------

I tracked this down, and the problem is actually in the latest Android SDK.

The fix is in the Android SDK:
At the bottom of platform-tools\18.0.1\dx.bat, change:
call %java_exe% %javaOpts% -Djava.ext.dirs=%frameworkdir% -jar %jarpath% %params%
to
call "%java_exe%" %javaOpts% -Djava.ext.dirs=%frameworkdir% -jar %jarpath% %params%

> 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?
