Redwood: [macOS] `yarn rw dev` crashes when there is a space in the home path

[freddydumont]

I tried using an absolute path to a symlinked home without a space when creating the project but it crashes on rw dev nonetheless.

You can see from the errors where the issue is:

❯ yarn rw dev
yarn run v1.22.4
$ '/Users/frederick 1/dev/redwoodblog/node_modules/.bin/rw' dev

This might be an issue with yarn itself: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/7839.

Although I've been using yarn forever and it hasn't been an issue.

Hmm, I don’t think that’s yarn. More likely to do with how we’re handling path in the command itself. We’ll take a look.

Thanks for reporting this and sorry you had the trouble.
