----------------------------------

             Summary: Windows kafka-server-start.bat script fails when Kafka is located in path with whitespace 
                 Key: KAFKA-9710
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9710
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tools
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Tomas Kovan
             Fix For: 2.4.0
         Attachments: kafka_image.png

*Steps to reproduce:*

On Windows when you place Kafka to directory path with space, for example "C:\kafka path with whitespace" in it and run ".\bin\windows\kafka-server-start.bat", script will fail with error message "Error: Could not find or load main class path" (example in image). 

*Possible solution:*

Working solution is to remove double quotes around %CLASSPATH% variable in "kafka-run-class.bat" since all paths included in %CLASSPATH% variable already includes double quotes around them. So changing line 179 in file "kafka-run-class.bat" 
FROM:
{code:java}
set COMMAND=%JAVA% %KAFKA_HEAP_OPTS% %KAFKA_JVM_PERFORMANCE_OPTS% %KAFKA_JMX_OPTS% %KAFKA_LOG4J_OPTS% -cp "%CLASSPATH%" %KAFKA_OPTS% %*
{code}
TO:
{code:java}
set COMMAND=%JAVA% %KAFKA_HEAP_OPTS% %KAFKA_JVM_PERFORMANCE_OPTS% %KAFKA_JMX_OPTS% %KAFKA_LOG4J_OPTS% -cp %CLASSPATH% %KAFKA_OPTS% %*
{code}
