@girishuppal thanks for reporting this however I am unable to reproduce the issue with the project you provided.

[girishuppal]

Can it be because of this ?

[filipesilva]

@girishuppal no, that doesn't look like it should affect paths. Perhaps it's related to the folder you clone to.

[mgechev]

@girishuppal let us know if you have any further insight. Hopefully we're able to reproduce the problem and fix it. Alternatively, it could be an issue in your environment that we cannot help with.

[girishuppal]

Can you please let me know what additional things you need?

[filipesilva]

@girishuppal we need a way to reproduce this problem in our machines. @alan-agius4 tried to reproduce it but couldn't. If we cannot reproduce the problem, we cannot fix it.

It's hard to know why it happens on your machine but not on ours. Perhaps it is the folder you are using, perhaps it is something else.

So the best think you can do is give very precise instructions for us to follow, that you can also follow, and are able to reproduce the problem. Imagine you are someone else on another computer trying to follow the instructions. A good rule is that if you look at your own instructions and it is not clear what commands to run, or where to run them, then you need more detail.

[girishuppal]

I believe we can close this issue now. As it continues to appear in my machine and others are unable to reproduce

I had simmilar bug, and in my case it was because the folder had in the name "#".
I was doing a project on C# and put on the project on "C:/Code/C#"and I changed the name to "C:/Code/CSharp" and solved my problem.
I saw that some people put the project on "H:/#httpdocs"and the "#" my be the cause.
