I was going through the document to Set Up OpenMRS Server. https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Set+Up+OpenMRS+Server+with+OpenMRS+SDK+and+Docker
i am encountering the following error
I am able to understand that it is because of the space in path but i am unable to find how to correct it. is there a work around. how should i proceed?
Remove the space in the Folder name Saumya<space>Karnwa1
Username folder inside Users stores important files, displays the name you used while setting up Windows for the first time. it cant be edited easily. in case i edit it i will have to change the path of almost all the important applications installed in addition to disturbing the environment set up of other applications. is there any other work around?
You could do something like set _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Duser.home=c:\openmrs and then try running the commands again, but yeah, this is something we should fix.
Thank you. I finished setting up and am excited to start contributing !
However I am curious if we can raise an issue and make changes such as enclosing the path in double quotes by default. That will allow path with spaces (in windows).
That’s a valid issue to work on, and one I’d be pleased to see implemented. However, the problem isn’t really with the SDK itself; it’s that many components of the application don’t work properly when the application data directory is a path containing spaces; it ends up being a bit bigger of a bother than just adding double-quotes in some situations.
