Template filenames with metacharacters throw URI::InvalidURIError about chef-zero

[btm]

Happens with spaces too.

       [2014-12-12T11:17:34-08:00] FATAL: URI::InvalidURIError: windows_font[Code New Roman.otf] (minimal::default line 19) had an error: URI::InvalidURIError: cookbook_file[Code New Roman.otf] (dynamically defined) had an error: URI::InvalidURIError: bad URI(is not URI?): http://localhost:8889/file_store/repo/cookbooks/minimal/files/default/Code New Roman.otf

Is there any workaround or are we forced to never use spaces in our file names?

[ndemeshchenko]

does anybody have any solution? this still seems not resolved

I faced same problem.

I wrote a patch to escape URI meta character.
It works for my environment.

#204

Ran into this issue as well still a year and half later. Not sure why this hasn't been merged yet.

I'm having the same issue with whitespaces, but I ensure I've been working with whitespaces until now.
Looks something got corrupted in my system after a computer crash.

ChefDK => 0.14.25
Client => 12.10.24
Berks => 4.3.3
Kitchen => 1.8.0

Even I reinstall ChefDK, I'm still having same issue. Any help will be appreciated.

This should be resolved by #204
