Description

When Maven wrapper is run on a username with spaces on Windows, it doesn’t work and an error is produced:

 

'C:\Users\Test' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Cannot start maven from wrapper 

 

 

Reproducer:

• Have a username with spaces is in it (e.g. Test User Name)

• Create Maven wrapper (mvn wrapper:wrapper)

• Run the newly created Maven wrapper (mvnw –version)

 

I suspect this is being caused by the following pattern:

Write-Output "MVN_CMD=$MAVEN_HOME/bin/$MVN_CMD"

 

Where $MAVEN_HOME contains spaces and is not being quoted correctly.
