#6005 closed defect (duplicate)

Test non-default install directories

Reported by: Andreas Heuermann Owned by: Adrian Pop
Priority: high Milestone: 1.16.0
Component: Run-time Version: v1.16.0-dev
Keywords: Path environment variables Cc:

Description

Every now and then we have problems with installation paths containign spaces, e.g. ticket #6004 for the default Windows installation path.
Problem is that we don't test it (and don't test it with all features).

We should add a test that validates that

a) Spaces in a path can be handled by everything. E.g. "C:\Programm Files\OpenModelica1.16.0-dev-64bit"
b) Handle all allowed file and directory names. See for Windows the Doc on Naming and for Unix there is probably something similar.

We can discuss if we want to assure that a file or directory name can contain all special characters that Windows and Unix allows.
Maybe "ÅåUse all the ăîșțâåöä we can think of/OpenModelica" is a bit to much.
As long default directories are working I would be fine.

Sounds good to me :)

We would need to check for every place a file is generated or read and add a test for it.
It is doable but it will take a while.

Indeed. Anything extra in the present ticket that was not mentioned in #5811?
