Kotlin asset compiler errors with spaces in paths

[Zoweb]

🐛 bug report

When building Kotlin code in a directory with spaces, Parcel errors out with [path to file before space] is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file (on Windows). It is expected that this error will happen on other operating systems as well.

🎛 Configuration (.babelrc, package.json, cli command)

package.json:

{
  "name": "kotlin-parcel-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "license": "MIT",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@jetbrains/kotlinc-js-api": "^1.2.12",
    "parcel": "^1.11.0"
  }
}

CLI command: npx parcel src/*.html

File structure:

package.json
src/
  \- index.html
  |- test.kt

🤔 Expected Behavior

Everything should compile as usual.

😯 Current Behavior

Parcel errors, saying that the directory before any spaces is not recognised as an internal or external command.

💁 Possible Solution

The bug is probably caused by there not being quotes around the path containing the Kotlin compiler, meaning that the OS interprets the space as separating the command and an argument.

🔦 Context

This issue came up while attempting to fix another bug, where I created a folder to test in that had a space in its name. When attempting to run Parcel, it came up with this error, so I had to remove any spaces from the path, and then it worked.

🌍 Your Environment

Software	Version(s)
Parcel	1.11.0
Node	11.1.0
npm/Yarn	1.12.1
Operating System	Windows 10 (1809)

This appears to be an issue in Node - kotlinc-js-api calls child_process.spawn, which doesn't seem to work when both arguments and the path have spaces (nodejs/node#7367).
