webdrive cannot cope with spaces in the path about gulp-webdriver HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm having the same issue - it looks like this is windows specific.

gutil.log('spawn wdio with these attributes:\n', args.join('\n'));
var wdio = spawn(opts.wdioBin, args, { stdio: 'inherit' });

It looks like where spawn is called, the 'args' argument is the path to the wdio conf file. If that path contains a space then the error above occurs.

Incase this issue is affecting anyone else - we found a workaround.

The problem was specifically on our CI server, where we couldn't control the path from where the tests ran.

The tests were running from c:\program files\etc\etc\ and the space caused the issue. We found that if we cd'd to the short version C:\Progra~1\etc\etc\ before kicking off the tests everything worked fine.

Amazing workaround!

I think this is resolved then.
