Error when following "Start a new project" guide

[dclausen]

Trying to follow the "Start a new project" guide located here:
https://luckyframework.org/guides/installing/

and getting an error:

in lib/lucky/src/lucky/action.cr:1: while requiring "./*": can't specify arguments in both, command and args without including "${@}" into your command

Here's a gist showing the backtrace:

@dclausen Thanks for reporting the issue. Can you also post what OS and version you are on? Did you install through Homebrew or with git/crystal build instructions?

[dclausen]

MacOS High Sierra. I installed via Homebrew:

brew tap luckyframework/homebrew-lucky
brew install lucky

[paulcsmith]

@dclausen I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling Crystal and Lucky and it seemed to work. Just to rule out any weirdness during install can you try:

• brew uninstall --force lucky crystal-lang
• brew install lucky crystal-lang

Also what shell are you using?

UPDATE:

This is the line that causes the error: https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/3d7320d8c06348a5cd805a3fa42d4bfe5e4cb109/src/process.cr#L321 but I'm not sure why no error is thrown for anyone else. I'll keep digging

I'm using zsh.

@dclausen Ok this appears to be an issue in Crystal with regards to spaces in the path. I'm guessing you are creating the project where there is a space somewhere in the path. The solution in the meantime is to create the project in a directory without any spaces e.g. ~/Desktop/code or something. LMK if that works

I'll be sure to close this once the issue is fixed in Crystal :)

[dclausen]

My home directory actually had the space in it (not by choice) from having restored from a backup. I've confirmed that removing the space fixed the issue. Sorry for the headache and thanks for the quick help!

[paulcsmith]

Should be fixed by crystal-lang/crystal#5543
