Description

When I attempt to run tests using `mvn clean install` or similar commands that run through the verify phase, I get a SurefireBooterForkException if the path to my project contains any space.

Example: C:\Users\tcasinhas\Documents\Git\My Project\mproj-subproj-cases

 

If I remove the space, the build runs sucessfully.

Example: C:\Users\tcasinhas\Documents\Git\My-Project\mproj-subproj-cases

Notes:
I ommited the company and project name, but left everything else in the dump as is.
