Description

Projects which live in a folder path where there is a space, or where we are building for an environment (as defined in th e platformio.ini) that has a space in it, fail to link.

Example: I create a ESP32 project at the path C:\Users\Max\temp\Test Project With Spaces using the platformio.ini

[env:esp32dev with spaces]
platform = https://github.com/Jason2866/platform-espressif32.git
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
platform_packages = 
	framework-arduinoespressif32 @ https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32#master

with a semantically empty src/main.cpp code. Linking fails with

Linking .pio\build\esp32dev with spaces\firmware.elf
xtensa-esp32-elf-g++: error: Project: No such file or directory
xtensa-esp32-elf-g++: error: With: No such file or directory
xtensa-esp32-elf-g++: error: Spaces.map: No such file or directory
*** [.pio\build\esp32dev\firmware.elf] Error 1
================[FAILED] Took 102.29 seconds ================

which is due to the linker flag for generating the .map file being

-Wl,-Map="C:\Users\Max\temp\Test Project With "Spaces\.pio\build\esp32dev\Test Project With Spaces.map""

as one can see, unexpectedly before the wor Spaces there is a ". This prematurely ends the string for the -Map= argument, and the command is messed up.

The builder script does

arduino-esp32/tools/platformio-build-esp32.py

Line 115 in 0b10c8b

'-Wl,-Map="%s"' % join("$BUILD_DIR", basename(env.subst("${PROJECT_DIR}.map")))

which looks correct, but behind-the-scenes corrections / auto-escaping of anything that has a space done presumably by either SCons or the PlatformIO in it destroys this logic and produces these wrong commands.

A workaround is to use as much relative paths as possible to get only .pio\build\<env name>\<project name>.map, and then remove the spaces if there are any.

'-Wl,-Map="%s"' % relpath(join(env.subst("$PROJECT_BUILD_DIR"), env.subst("$PIOENV"),  basename(env.subst("${PROJECT_DIR}.map")))).replace(" ", "_")

EDIT: A better fix has been found in the linked PR.

As shown in https://community.platformio.org/t/working-with-esp-arduino-2-0-2/26540/6?u=maxgerhardt and following. The person in https://community.platformio.org/t/xtensa-esp32-elf-g-error-controller-map-no-such-file-or-directory/26675 is also affected.

I'm opening this bug here so that a temporary fix may be implemented, working around what looks like a core bug to me. Due to the war, fixes on the PlatformIO side may take a very long time.
