Hi
I'm getting a very strange reaction when I try running any of the
scripts that comes with JavaDB/Derby. If I run either "sysinfo" or "ij"
from the command prompt, I get the following message:
'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'""' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
If I echo %DERBY_HOME% I get:
C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\My Documents\Software\javadb
My impression from the above is that your scripts do not allow spaces in
the directory names. But spaces are legal. What gives?
I get the same error message if I try to run (for example) sysinfo.bat from a
Derby (or Java DB) installation with spaces in the path. However, if I put
double quotes around the CALL to the derby_common.bat script, it works.
So I recommend changing
CALL %~dp0derby_common.bat %*
to
CALL "%~dp0derby_common.bat %*"
in the scripts you use and see if that helps.
If it does, we should probably log a Jira issue for it [1] and provide a patch,
to avoid this situation in the future.
