Multiple exercise files - space in filename

See original GitHub issue

@kentcdodds/react-workshop-app version: 2.17.0

I just copied an exercise file in the react-hooks workshop and I noticed that we forgot to test the new feature with a space in the filename 😦

Reproduction steps:

in the exercise folder of a workshop, create a file with space, e.g. 01 copy.js
restart npm start
in browser, select the tab with the new exercise file

Expected:

render the file

Actual:

InvalidCharacterError: String contains an invalid character error message

I don’t mind this getting fixed. I’m happy you’ve found a workflow you like. It’s a shame that you have to restart the server to add new files.

Unfortunately I can’t dedicate any time to fixing this myself. But feel free to fix it later if you have the time 😃

Gotcha! classList methods don’t like a space (and the stack trace is much nicer with npm run dev) => PR comming…
