I build my Android APKs from the command line on Windows using Gradle. It all works fine except when there is a space in the path name. In that case, Gradle doesn't seem to pass the path correctly to CMake, as can be seen in the console output.

In my build.gradle CMake is called like this:

externalNativeBuild 
 cmake 
 path "src/main/cpp/CMakeLists.txt"
 

Now when I compile my project from C:testapktest all is fine. When I compile it from C:testapk test (note the space character!) it doesn't work any longer. The console output is this:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:externalNativeBuildArm7Debug'.
> Build command failed.
 Error while executing process C:UsersandreasAppDataLocalAndroidSdkcmake3.10.2.4988404bincmake.exe with arguments --build C:testapk testapp.externalNativeBuildcmakearm7Debugarmeabi-v7a --target myproject
 Unknown argument testapp.externalNativeBuildcmakearm7Debugarmeabi-v7a
 Usage: cmake --build <dir> [options] [-- [native-options]]
 Options:
 <dir> = Project binary directory to be built.
 --target <tgt> = Build <tgt> instead of default targets.
 May only be specified once.
 --config <cfg> = For multi-configuration tools, choose <cfg>.
 --clean-first = Build target 'clean' first, then build.
 (To clean only, use --target 'clean'.)
 --use-stderr = Ignored. Behavior is default in CMake >= 3.0.
 -- = Pass remaining options to the native tool.

As you can see, CMake is incorrectly started from Gradle because it is started like this: cmake --build C:testapk testapp.externalNativeBuildcmakearm7Debugarmeabi-v7a --target myproject but there should be double quotes around the --build argument so that it is parsed as a single argument and not as two separate arguments.

I think this is a bug but where should it be reported? Android NDK? Gradle? CMake?

Also, is there any workaround except not using paths with spaces?
