In DOS_Mode, dynamic code execution fails due to path without quotes

[kastnerp]

Dear Bruno,

When trying to run this case in DOS_Mode (DOS_Mode.bat), I noticed that the dynamic code execution within the blockMeshDict file fails.

I am not exactly sure why this happens but I suspect it is due to the path being passed to sh.exe without quotes.
In case of the default installation folder C:\Program Files\blueCFD-Core-2017, this leads to:

make: C:\Program: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'C:\Program'.  Stop.

Here is the full cli output:

Running blockMesh within blueCFD-Core terminal works without any issues.
I am not sure if this can be fixed but I wanted to add it here nevertheless.

Best,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Many thanks for your detailed report! I have tried to tackle this issue in the past, but there should be a temporary workaround at the moment:

• Rely on using the pseudo-virtual drive X:, as documented here: https://github.com/blueCFD/Core/wiki/Quick-notes-on-how-to-update-build#setting-up-the-work-environment

Best regards,
Bruno
