Kate-ctags-plugin separate path string by space character then passes to command. Thus, ctags can not find the directory when the path string contain space character. Example: ----- Setting of CTags plugin ----- Index Target: D:/Projects/tmp/src dir CTags database file: D:\Projects\tmp\tags dir\tags CTags command: logargs.bat ----- logargs.bat ----- echo [%0] [%1] [%2] [%3] [%4] [%5] [%6] [%7] [%8] [%9] >> "%TEMP%\args.log" ----- args.log ----- [logargs.bat] [-f] [D:\Projects\tmp\tags] [dir\tags] [D:/Projects/tmp/src] [dir] [] [] [] []
I agree with this bug. Please confirm and fix this bug.
(In reply to Yuki from comment #0) > ----- Setting of CTags plugin ----- > Index Target: D:/Projects/tmp/src dir > CTags database file: D:\Projects\tmp\tags dir\tags I have observed this bug on Linux (Mint/Kubuntu) Kate (V16.04.3) as well. Can you please edit the field 'Platform' in the bug description to accommodate Linux along with Windows? Thanks.

I've changed platform to unspecified, is this ok?
Yuki/Vasudeo can you please confirm this issue still persists on a recent version of Kate.

I tried CTags plugin on Kate version 20.12.2 "Index targets" given in argument for ctags command is OK, but "CTags database file" given to -f option still has problem(argument is separated if the path contains space) ----- Setting of CTags plugin ----- Index Target: C:/Programs/src dir CTags database file: C:/Programs/src dir/tags CTags command: C:/Programs/bin/logargs.bat ----- logargs.bat ----- echo [%0] [%1] [%2] [%3] [%4] [%5] [%6] [%7] [%8] [%9] >> "%TEMP%\args.log" ----- args.log ----- [C:\Programs\bin\logargs.bat] [-f] [C:\Programs\src] [dir\tags] ["C:/Programs/src dir"] [] [] [] [] []
I found that path "CTags database file" is given to -f option of ctags command correctly if I surround it by double quotation. Is this expected behavior? Kate version----- Version 20.12.2 ----- Setting of CTags plugin ----- Index Target: C:/Programs/src dir1, C:/Programs/src dir2 CTags database file: "C:/Programs/src dir/tags" CTags command: C:/Programs/bin/logargs.bat ----- logargs.bat ----- echo [%0] [%1] [%2] [%3] [%4] [%5] [%6] [%7] [%8] [%9] >> "%TEMP%\args.log" ----- args.log ----- [C:\Programs\bin\logargs.bat] [-f] ["C:\Programs\src dir\tags"] ["C:/Programs/src dir1"] ["C:/Programs/src dir2"] [] [] [] [] []
>>I found that path "CTags database file" is given to -f option of ctags command correctly if I surround it by double quotation. When I change "CTags database file" like this, tags file can be created, but searching symbol on CTags plugin can't work. In order to search symbol, I sill needs to delete double quotation in "CTags database file" after creating tags file. Thus, I think this is problem.
