pact-node fails to launch mock server on windows

See original GitHub issue

We are using pact-node (v6.16.0) bundled with pact-karma (2.1.5) and pact-web (5.9.0)

When trying to run the pact tests on a windows machine, I’m seeing the following error

[2018-05-07T22:23:19.539Z]  INFO: pact-node@6.16.0/7872 on xxxxxx: Created 'standalone\win32-1.38.0\bin\pact-mock-service.bat service --port '3110' --consumer 'consumer' --prov
ider 'provider' --log 'C:\.....\pacts\stubserver-integration.log' --pact_dir '.....\pacts' --pact-file-writ

ERROR: The process "8688" not found.

When trying to run that bat file directly, I get the following error

C:\.....\node_modules\@pact-foundation\pact-node\standalone\win32-1.38.0\bin>pact-mock-service.bat
C:\.....\node_modules\@pact-foundation\pact-node\standalone\win32-1.38.0\lib\ruby\bin\..\bin.real\ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- UI (LoadError)

Any pointers on why this is happening?

@bbarke good news, version 6.18.3 is going out as we speak with the windows path fixes. Please let us know how you go. Cheers.

This is on Windows 10 with the regular windows terminal.

It looks like the issue was because the location/path of the project had a space in it, for example:

C:\MY UI\angular-project\ it was failing because it didn’t handle the space and tried to run ‘UI’ as an argument, resulting in ‘no such file or directory – UI’
