Quoted plugin path issue on 1.0.0 beta

sudara opened this issue · comments

It looks like the following won't work on 1.0.0

~/Downloads/pluginval-20.app/Contents/MacOS/pluginval --validate "~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Playground.component"

Pluginval says it can't find the plugin:

Num plugins found: 0
!!! Test 1 failed: No types found. This usually means the plugin binary is missing or damaged, an incompatible format or that it is an AU that isn't found by macOS so can't be created.
FAILED!!  1 test failed, out of a total of 1
*** FAILED

Without the quotes it's happy:

~/Downloads/pluginval-20.app/Contents/MacOS/pluginval --validate ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Playground.component

This makes it a bit tougher to specify paths with spaces in them, such as:

"~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/My Plugin.component"

(it works with the space escaped by a backslash)

I'm hitting this on CI, but not locally. Any ideas why this might be the case? (Quotes or no quotes!)

Hey there!

What issue are you hitting? "No types found"?

If so, there are 5 or 6 possible reasons you might run into the issue, check the troubleshooting section of my post for more detail:

If you still have trouble, let me know what the command is being run, which platform, and verify the plugin is where you expect it to be...
