[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1591) CouchDB crashes on startup on OS X with a space in the an added .ini path

["Benoit Chesneau (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1591?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13490489#comment-13490489 ] 

Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-1591:
------------------------------------------

I made some tests and the problem isn't in Erlang but in the couch shell script. 

$start_argument get:`/Users/benoitc/work/couchdb/etc/couchdb/default_dev.ini /Users/benoitc/work/couchdb/etc/couchdb/local_dev.ini ~/Library/Application'

and couch:

     ["/Users/benoitc/work/couchdb/etc/couchdb/default_dev.ini",
      "/Users/benoitc/work/couchdb/etc/couchdb/local_dev.ini",
      "/Users/benoitc/Library/Application"]

After passing "$@" to the  `parse_script_option_list` function and then getopt allows me to run the following command:

   ./utils/run -a "'~/Library/Application\ Support/test.ini'"

Note the ' in the string. Then on the erlang side the lists of ini is:

      ["/Users/benoitc/work/couchdb/etc/couchdb/default_dev.ini",
      "/Users/benoitc/work/couchdb/etc/couchdb/local_dev.ini",
      "/Users/benoitc/Library/Application Support/test.ini"]
