doesn't work if the output location contains a whitespace about curl

[libetl]

Hello,

Thanks for that feedback,
I will try to test that scenario.

Hmm that is weird,

this unit test is green on my machine :

    @Test
    public void outputFileWithSpaces () {
        File file = new File("target/classes/downloaded Curl With WhiteSpaces");

        boolean fileDeleted = file.delete();
        LOGGER.log(Level.FINE, "output file deleted : " + fileDeleted);
        this.assertOk (this.curl ("-k -E src/test/resources/clients/libe/libe.pem -X GET -A 'toto' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Host: localhost' 'https://localhost:%d/public' -o 'target/classes/downloaded Curl With WhiteSpaces'"));
        Assert.assertTrue (new File ("target/classes/downloaded Curl With WhiteSpaces").exists ());
    }

Hmm,
I do not know why that exception happens, but here is my use of the library :

private static String appDataDirectory;
static {

        // set nazel AppData directory path based on the user OS
        if(System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().contains("win"))
            appDataDirectory = System.getenv("AppData").replaceAll("[/\\\\]$", "") +
                    System.getProperty("file.separator") + "nazel downloader";
        else if(System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().contains("mac"))
            appDataDirectory = System.getProperty("user.home").replaceAll("[/\\\\]$", "") +
                    System.getProperty("file.separator") + "Library" + System.getProperty("file.separator") +
                    "Preferences" + System.getProperty("file.separator") + "nazel downloader";
        else
            appDataDirectory = System.getProperty("user.home").replaceAll("[/\\\\]$", "") +
                    System.getProperty("file.separator") + ".nazel Downloader";

    }


// Then somewhere in a method
Curl.curl("-L http://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o " + APP_DATA_DIRECTORY + System.getProperty("file.separator") + "youtube-dl.tmp");

I tested this code on windows and linux, but with the same error.
Am I wrong in somthing?

I have escaped from this error by using this workaround :

File tempFile = new File(APP_DATA_DIRECTORY + System.getProperty("file.separator") + "youtube-dl.tmp");
if(tempFile.exists())
        tempFile.delete();
tempFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();

FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);
HttpResponse response = Curl.curl().lUpperCase().run("http://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl");
response.getEntity().writeTo(fileOutputStream);
fileOutputStream.close();

Hello,

I think your forgot to surround the file name with simple quotes or double quotes.

" + APP_DATA_DIRECTORY + System.getProperty("file.separator") + "youtube-dl.tmp" =>
/home/user/directory with space/youtube-dl.tmp (failing)

whereas
'" + APP_DATA_DIRECTORY + System.getProperty("file.separator") + "youtube-dl.tmp'" =>
'/home/user/directory with space/youtube-dl.tmp' (working)

Don't hesitate to reopen that one if you need more help.

Ooh, you are right 👍
Thanks a lot.
