Ktlint: Fail to specify reporter output that contains spaces in path

[Tapchicoma]

It was requested in ktlint-gradle plugin to support reporters output path that contains spaces.

I've tried following approaches to check if it supported on Ktlint side:

$ ~/tmp/ktlint --debug --reporter=plain,output="/home/user/some dir with spaces/samples/android-app/build/reports/ktlint/ktlint-debugAndroidTest.txt" "src/**/*.kt"
Error: "--reporter=plain,output=/home/user/some dir with spaces/samples/android-app/build/reports/ktlint/ktlint-debugAndroidTest.txt" is not a valid option

This should work:

$ ~/tmp/ktlint "--reporter=plain,output=/home/user/some dir with spaces/samples/android-app/build/reports/ktlint/ktlint-debugAndroidTest.txt" "src/**/*.kt" 

that is, quoting the whole "--reporter=..." argument.

Hm, I also getting error in this case as well:

$ ~/tmp/ktlint --debug "--reporter=plain,output=/home/user/some dir with spaces/samples/android-app/build/reports/ktlint/ktlint-debugAndroidTest.txt" "src/**/*.kt"
Error: "--reporter=plain,output=/home/user/some dir with spaces/samples/android-app/build/reports/ktlint/ktlint-debugAndroidTest.txt" is not a valid option
