Ctags problems with spaces in project name

[v1993]

So we have to single-quote /home/v/compile/2048 NG/2048 NG.tags.

Interesting… I launched correct version manually and discovered a bug in ctags!

Why are you posting ctags problems on geany/geany_plugins?

[v1993]

First one is definitely geany plugin's bug, because it should be one argument instead of three.

Yep, second is ctag's problem, you are right.

[elextr]

geany does not appear anywhere in the command you posted? How is it related to Geany?

[v1993]

It is from geany's messages window, command is auto generated by Project -> Generate tags.

P.S.: geany side bug can be fixed, and new ctags is in development: https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags.

[elextr]

and finally which plugin are you using?

[v1993]

It is GeanyCTags. I'm sorry for being so inaccurate!

@v1993 Thanks for reporting the issue. I've added apostrophes around the generated tags file in #739 which should fix the issue in the plugin. Interestingly, I haven't been able to reproduce the problem itself here - even without the apostrophes tag generation worked fine with a project name containing spaces. But adding apostrophes around the name is definitely the right thing to do.

This is hopefully fixed. Closing.
