Description

unable to resolve class by directorynames with blanks eg: "Eigene Dateien"

I make a directory
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Nagy\Eigene Dateien\BlankTest
next I create a groovy file

------------------------ 8< -------------------------
//
//
// Dieses Skript dient zum Klären des Problems
// beim aufrufen von Klassen in "Eigene Datein"
// Es scheint Probleme bei der Verwendung von Blanks
// in Verzeichnisnamen zu geben
//
// .-update-.
// – wann----wer- was -------------------------------------
// 01.10.2007 | ny | erstellt

import pckUtil.ClMyUtil

def oUtil = new ClMyUtil()
println oUtil.Any()
------------------------ 8< -------------------------

Afterwards: create directory
pckUtil
in this directory I create a testclass ClMyUtil

------------------------ 8< -------------------------
package pckUtil

// ---- Classe ----------------------------------------------------
class ClMyUtil {
// ----------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Dies ist eine Klasse um das Problem bei
// "Eigene Dateien" zu klaeren.
//
//
// .-update-.
// – wann----wer- was -------------------------------------
// 01.10.2007 | ny | erstellt
// | |
// | |
// | |

def Any =

{ return "pong" }

}
------------------------ 8< -------------------------

Back to Applicationroot
cd ..

Now I run with following error:

$ groovy BlankTest.groovy
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed,
BlankTest.groovy: 15: unable to resolve class pckUtil.ClMyUtil
@ line 15, column 1.
import pckUtil.ClMyUtil
^

1 error

When I copy this application to eg. "c:\temp" its run trouble-free

------------------------ 8< -------------------------
$ cd
C:\temp\BlankTest

$ groovy BlankTest.groovy
pong
------------------------ 8< -------------------------
Strange!

In "Eigene Dateien" I used a old trick from MS-DOS

subst M: "%cd%"
M:
groovy BlankTest.groovy

this run also ok.

I assume this problems is hidden by blanks in directoryname.
