How do I use catkin in a directory containing a space character?
I'm trying to use catkin in a directory that contains a space, when pressing TAB to trigger the tab completion the script fails:
~/SpiderOak Hive/catkin_workspace/devel$ roslaunch fanuc_m10ia_support find: `/home/dell/SpiderOak': No such file or directory
find: `Hive/catkin_workspace/src/fanuc/fanuc_m10ia_support': No such file or directory
My .bashrc looks like:
source ~/SpiderOak\ Hive/catkin_workspace/devel/setup.bash
Clearly a \ is missing somewhere to escape the space character, where should I add it?
I've tried adding it to line 3 of setup.sh (it does not change anything):
: ${_CATKIN_SETUP_DIR:=/home/dell/SpiderOak\ Hive/catkin_workspace/devel}
is that space so necessary? why making your life hard !
Yes, the
Spider Oakapp does not allow to rename the sync directory.Can you try doing ln -s /SpiderOak\ Hive/ SpiderOak_Hive and then work with that static link which points to the original folder but with a name containing no spaces.
Nice idea but it doesn't work either!
This is very easily reproducable (just create a workspace path that includes a space in it) and I would say this is a bug. Could be that somewhere some script does not properly quote paths. Adding escape chars everywhere would only be a work around. I'd report this at the
ros_commtracker.https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/issue...
