"format*" script can't resolve to "bin-prettier.js" with a space in absolute path

[MaGnaL]

Running one of the format* npm scripts fails, when there is a space in the absolute path to the workspace. Unfortunately format:write is called when a new app or Angular module lib is created.

In my case:

> my-workspace@0.0.0 format /Users/My Name/Documents/Development/my-workspace
> nx format write

module.js:549
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '/Users/My'

    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:188:16)

    throw err;
    ^

    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:505:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:497:3)

I think the code which needs to be changed is this one:

nx/packages/schematics/src/command-line/format.ts

Lines 57 to 80 in b17b186

	function write(patterns: string[]) {
	if (patterns.length > 0) {
	execSync(`node ${prettierPath()} --single-quote --print-width 120 --write ${patterns.join(' ')}`, {
	stdio: [0, 1, 2]
	});
	}
	}
	function check(patterns: string[]) {
	if (patterns.length > 0) {
	try {
	execSync(`node ${prettierPath()} --single-quote --print-width 120 --list-different ${patterns.join(' ')}`, {
	stdio: [0, 1, 2]
	});
	} catch (e) {
	process.exit(1);
	}
	}
	}
	function prettierPath() {
	const basePath = path.dirname(resolve.sync('prettier', { basedir: __dirname }));
	return path.join(basePath, 'bin-prettier.js');
	}

Since this kinda "blocks" the creation of apps and libs, the easiest workaround is to disable the format* scripts like described here: #306 (comment)

I'm using version 0.8.0.

Edit: And I'm on a Mac.

This should no longer be an issue as of 0.10.0
