WDL Devtools for VSCode rendering non-breaking whitespace causing errors

[maribuon]

Hi,

thank you for the plugin. It is very useful. However, since I have started using OneDrive for business (which has whitespaces on the name), files cannot be found because the whitespaces are replaced with %20 (or 20%). I am using it on MacOS, but had to unable it, unfortunately. It would be great if that can be fixed.

Best wishes,
Mariana

OK, thanks for reporting! Could you give examples of the files that cannot be found? Are those the files in your workspace or some files from the plugin?

Hi,

it happens to the very same script that I am editing, and it happens exactly when I change anything on the file, the output says:

[Info  - 4:31:00 PM] Validating file:///Users/username/OneDrive%20-%20Business%20something%20Ltd/projects/SV_CNV/dev_sv_cnv_workflow/dev_username/svcnvCatchCore.wdl
[Error - 4:31:00 PM] [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/username/OneDrive%20-%20Business%20something%20Ltd/projects/SV_CNV/dev_sv_cnv_workflow/dev_username/svcnvCatchCore.wdl'

OK, I see! That's interesting - and does it happen only on OneDrive files or any file paths that have spaces in them?

Same thing on other "space-named" dir:

[Info  - 4:56:21 PM] Validating file:///Users/username/space%20test/space/svcnvCatchCore.wdl
[Error - 4:56:21 PM] [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/username/space%20test/space/svcnvCatchCore.wdl'

Thanks! That certainly seems like a bug we overlooked. I'll take a look into a fix
