shellspec --init not working with whitespaces in working path on WSL Ubuntu on Windows about shellspec HOT 4 OPEN

@smatberg-gpe here’s a stack overflow thread to give you an example - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19858176/how-do-i-escape-spaces-in-path-for-scp-copy-in-linux

Simply speaking, in shell scripting, when you have special characters (in your case spaces) you need to escape them using \ to let shell know that it is actually a special character, not a next argument. Therefore you should write down your repo path as my\ repo

Yes, I know about escaping characters (thank you though for your patience). But in the command "shellspec --init" there is no path and therefore nothing to escape. Shellspec seems to get the current path by other means and does not handle its whitespaces correctly when on WSL2.
As I said, the same thing works just fine on native linux.

@smatberg-gpe I believe, you need to escape white space in your Unix path. To make your life easier, I would recommend using underscores in the file names.

Thank you for your kind reply.
However, I'm not quite sure what you mean... When stating "shellspec --init" there is nothing to escape. The "cd" command before works just fine.
Of course life is easier withouth whitespaces in path names, however that is not always something we can control personally. But as I said, for now it is exactly what I am doing.
