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"] > CouchDB crashes on startup on OS X with a space in the an added .ini path > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-1591 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1591 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Database Core > Affects Versions: 1.2, 1.3 > Reporter: Benoit Chesneau > Priority: Blocker > > Passing a path with a space in it doesn't work . > Ticket created after ml discussion here: > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/201211.mbox/browser -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
