Designer install into folder containing spaces results in VDB creation errors ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: TEIIDDES-285 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIIDDES-285 Project: Teiid Designer Issue Type: Bug Environment: Windows Reporter: Mark Drilling Assignee: Barry LaFond This Issue has been encountered multiple times. If the Designer is installed in a directory that contains spaces in its name, we are unable to build/save a VDB. For example, if the Designer is installed in C:\Program Files\MetaMatrix\EnterpriseDesigner and we create a new VDB and add models to it, everything appears fine. When we perform a Save, we see an error indicated on the VDB Overview page. ERROR - This VDB cannot be deployed for data access On the VDB Problems page we see an error message: Missing model import to resource ../../../../../../../../../../../Program%2520Files/MetaMatrix/EnterpriseDesigner/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/com.metamatrix.vdb.edit/vdbWorkingFolder/1174623145637_392809865332324117/builtInDataTypes.xsd No log file is produced and no errors seem to be logged to Designer's Problems view. It appears the space in the referenced file name may not be encoded properlly. The URL encoded value used is %2520. I think it should be %20 (decimal 32) however this may be wchar or UTF-8. In either case, the space is the cause of the issue. If I rename the Program Files directory to ProgramFiles, all is fine. (i.e. C:\ProgramFiles\MetaMatrix\EnterpriseDesigner. The use case for the client suggests that the client toosl should be installed according to standard business logic and placed in a common location. This common location may contain spaces in the path name.
