Cannot run cdxgen.exe if its path contains spaces

[rickymohk]

I installed node using Volta on Windows. Then I installed @cyclonedx/cdxgen globally. Unfortunately my Windows user name contains a space so the path to cdxgen.exe contains a space. As a result when I run cdxgen in my project, it prints '<path before space>' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I found other global npm packages don't get this issue. And Get-Command cdxgen does print the path to cdxgen.exe correctly. So I assume the command is found but some operation in the execution try to parse argv[0] without proper whitespace handling.

Could you please share the entire command you were running?

The command I were running is cdxgen -t dotnet . Actually it doesn't matter because even cdxgen -h produces the same result.

Sounds like a nodejs issue rather than cdxgen specific one. Do other npm installed packages run correctly?

Yes, other npm installed global packages run correctly. I have tried qrcode and serve without issue.

Can you do npm config edit as explained in this link and try?
