Path strings should be quoted or have whitespace escaped

Environment:

• fresh install of oad from npm install -g oav. I've never used it before. Version installed was 0.1.9.
• Windows 11
• .NET version 6.0.402

When I run oad compare my-old-spec.json my-new-spec.json as per the instructions, I get the file not found errors. If I manually create these files out of curiosity, I still get an error.

# Initial error
> oad compare ..\..\stable\2022-01-01\redisenterprise.json .\redisenterprise.json
File "C:\Users\jantache\AppData\Local\Temp\old.json" not found.

# Error after manually creating old.json
> oad compare ..\..\stable\2022-01-01\redisenterprise.json .\redisenterprise.json
File "C:\Users\jantache\AppData\Local\Temp\new.json" not found.

# Error after manually creating both new.json and old.json

I think you need to follow this https://github.com/Azure/openapi-diff#how-to-install to install the latest version tool

[jantache-microsoft]

Thanks.

So I shouldn't expect the version that's currently in the npm repository to work? The docs I'm following suggest to install this tool via npm rather than installing manually via the repository. I could request these docs be updated, but on further inspection, the version on npm is quite old.

Would it be possible to make a new npm release? I'm fine to try manual installation, but installing via npm seems better for future users.

I think the doc has been updated for long time, currently we push the tool to '@azure/oad', not 'oad'. You can still retrieve the latest version from npm

[jantache-microsoft]

Thanks, that helps.

I've just uninstalled the old version and installed the correct latest from @azure/oad. It looks like it still doesn't run correctly when the path contains spaces due to an unescaped path string.

Thanks, it's a bug, we should escape the space in the return of this function

Actually, a better change as opposed to quoting or escaping whitespace would be to use less a less fallible API like execFileSync instead of execSync (or async variants)
