Corona Terminal - Running apps with spaces in the path

Other
#1

Hi,

I always launch apps from the command line, but I’ve always had an issue when trying to launch a game when the path contains a space, even if it’s escaped.

So running:

/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona\ Terminal ~/Programming/Board\ Game/Board\ Game/main.lua

Results in two dialogues with the following:

The document “Board” could not be opened. Corona Simulator cannot open files of this type.

Followed by:

The document “main.lua” could not be opened. Corona Simulator cannot open files in the “Lua Source Code” format.

Any ideas if there’s anything that I could do?

Just wrap your path in quotation marks if it contains spaces :slight_smile:

Hi piotrz55, I’ve tried wrapping the path, but to no avail.
