Problem Title:
Design Manager M1.3/M1.4/M1.5: "illegal command line for invoking the Flow Engine", produced
when spaces are used in the path; basut 215
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
After creating a new design in the M1 Design Manager and
selecting Implement->Run, a message box may appear with the
following error message:
"illegal command line for invoking the Flow Engine"
Solution 1:
Beginning with the 1.5 release, this msg has been made
obsolete and replaced with a more comprehensible one.
This error is produced if the input design file is located
in a directory that has spaces in the directory path name. The M1
software will accept long file names (greater than 8 characters),
but will not accept spaces in directory names, as the software
interprets the single path to be multiple arguments.
Workaround:
Remove any spaces in the directory structure. Using underscores is
one alternative.
For Example:
C:\my files\design.edn
should be changed to
C:\my_files\design.edn
NOTE: Starting with the M1.5 release, the Design Manager will automatically
prompt the user with a notification if and when spaces are detected in the
path. The following message will appear when opening an existing project
as well when a new project is created:
"The entry D:\path\to\intro lab\introlab.xpj contains spaces. Currently
spaces are not supported."
