Have a space in the path for path causes script to not run

[btcminingparts]

Yep bad me on my part, seems it cannot find the location to the chia.exe due to the space but the path is absolutely correct and there is a space in the ymal file before the "C"

C:\Users\Chai Miner #1\AppData\Local\chia-blockchain\app-1.1.6\resources\app.asar.unpacked\daemon\chia.exe

get error

C:\Users\Chai Miner #1\Desktop\Swar-Chia-Plot-Manager-main>python manager.py start Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Chai Miner #1\Desktop\Swar-Chia-Plot-Manager-main\manager.py", line 30, in <module> start_manager() File "C:\Users\Chai Miner #1\Desktop\Swar-Chia-Plot-Manager-main\plotmanager\library\utilities\commands.py", line 39, in start_manager test_configuration(chia_location=chia_location, notification_settings=notification_settings, File "C:\Users\Chai Miner #1\Desktop\Swar-Chia-Plot-Manager-main\plotmanager\library\utilities\configuration.py", line 8, in test_configuration raise InvalidChiaLocationException('The chia_location in your config.yaml does not exist.

any ideas on this one? have this running fine on 2 other pc but those do not have the space :/

yes. swar is not properly escape the command. also, # is treated as comment if location is not quoted.
swar seems like he is on vacation. can you file a bug?

meanwhile you can probably workaround by doing (not tested... i am not a windows guy =p)

chia_location: C:\Users\"Chai Miner #1"\AppData\Local\chia-blockchain\app-1.1.6\resources\app.asar.unpacked\daemon\chia.exe

Sure will! thanks for the attempt but does the same when adding the quote!

hmm how about

chia_location: "C:\Users\Chai^ Miner^ #1\AppData\Local\chia-blockchain\app-1.1.6\resources\app.asar.unpacked\daemon\chia.exe"

idea is escaping the space and # yourself.

I think there is away to make windows generate a "short part". Going to try to figure that out today. Thanks for the help!!

Work around, use cmd and CD to the folder that contains the folder name with the space or odd character and use

dir /x

and windows will show a short path. It changed mine too: C:\Users\CHAIMI~1\AppData\Local\chia-blockchain\app-1.1.6\resources\app.asar.unpacked\daemon\chia.exe and works like a champ
