Description felipelorenzzon 2021-10-11 23:56:17 UTC 
SUMMARY
cannot compile cpp if the path has any space. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a directory containing a space
2. create any .cpp inside it
3. use tools>external tools>tools>compile and run cpp

OBSERVED RESULT

Compilation fails. The argument given to g++ lacks quotation marks around the paths.

EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.14.10-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I believe this is solved by adding the quotation marks in the arguments inside the file /kate/addons/externaltools/externaltools-config/compile_and_run_cpp.

This problem is also present if I compile Kate from source in KDE Neon.
Comment 2 Thiago Sueto 2021-11-06 22:25:03 UTC 
Can confirm. I think this is fix is trivial: simply enclosing all variables in "".
