Windows issue: spaces in path

[metanoid]

Running the example for cloc on Windows gives an error.

Under the hood, the system command is C:\STRAWB~1\perl\bin\perl.exe C:/Program Files/R/R-4.0.0/library/cloc/bin/cloc.pl --quiet --csv C:/Program Files/R/R-4.0.0/library/cloc/extdata

Unfortunately, there are spaces in the paths (because of Program Files) and so perl cannot find the cloc.pl script.

Thx for kicking the package tyres & submitting a bug report!

I switched all the system() calls to {processx] run() calls which should fix this, but I'm not near a Windows box to test it fully. Let me know if it works and I'll close it out.

The main issue is fixed - I can run the cloc function and get output for a local file or directory now on Windows.

The test called "retrieving things from CRAN works" fails, the output of

r cran <- cloc_cran("dplyr", "https://cran.rstudio.com", .progress=FALSE) is

              source language file_count file_count_pct loc loc_pct blank_lines blank_line_pct comment_lines comment_line_pct   pkg
1 dplyr_1.0.2.tar.gz     <NA>          0              0   0       0           0              0             0                0 dplyr

Not sure if this is a separate issue or not.

👍🏽

I'll have to poke at the cloc_cran() issue as it is likely Windows platform-related since:

(cran <- cloc_cran("dplyr", "https://cran.rstudio.com", .progress=FALSE))

works on macOS and linux.

I'll keep this open until I get a chance to do that.
