`e init` fails on Windows when there are spaces in a directory name about build-tools HOT 9 CLOSED

@codebytere it didn't, see #134; it just got further.

If you open cmd/powershell and type where python - does the depot_tools python.bat come ahead of any copies of python.exe?

from build-tools.

No, it does not; there is no place I could see that would set depot_tools's python.bat on the path at all.

Try running gclient just by itself first? We follow this for the most part: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/windows_build_instructions.md#Setting-up-Windows

And i didn't have this happen on my local win config so perhaps it's a strange system thing, unclear 🤔

from build-tools.

Ah, looks like it might be an issue with spaces in my electron build-tools directory...

from build-tools.

eeyup, apparently gclient doesn't support being run in a directory tree that contains spaces, now that I've moved it to C:\src\build_tools, it's totally fine...

@strega-nil did it sync successfully then?

@strega-nil does #178 fix this for you?

from build-tools.

Closing due to above
