Working directory doesn't seem to work if there are spaces in the name
Problem description
When there are spaces in the working directory, the action fails silently. When the same command is ran in Termux, everything works fine.
Steps to reproduce
- Install
zip
package - From a MacroDroid macro, call the Termux plugin
- Point to the zip executable in the bin directory:
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/zip
- add the following arguments:
-u Archive.zip *.txt
or-c Archive.zip *.txt
- In the Working directory path, add a path with spaces, such as:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.seafile.seadroid2/Seafile/[email protected] (domain.com)/archives
As such, the script fails silently.
No stdout
not stderr
If I add quotes around the space name, such as this:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.seafile.seadroid2/Seafile/'[email protected] (domain.com)'/archives
Termux-tasker warns "The working directory not found at path".
Same if I include escape characters, such as:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.seafile.seadroid2/Seafile/\'[email protected] (domain.com)\'/archives
If I ignore the warning and save the action, the action fails with this stdout:
zip warning Archive.zip not found or empty
zip warning: name not matched: *.txt
However, the files are there. In fact, if I try this in Termux, by doing:
cd /storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.seafile.seadroid2/Seafile/'[email protected] (domain.com)'/archives
(notice the quotes around the part of the name with spaces) and then:
zip -u Archive.zip *.txt
everything works correctly. The zip file is updated.
As far as I can tell, permissions are correctly set.
Expected Behavior Unless this is caused by a different issue altogether, I expect Termux-tasker to handle spaces in names on its own, or to understand the standard use of single quotes around the parts with spaces.
