            Bug ID: 450129
           Summary: Path Reasonably Cannot Be Set within craftsettings.ini
           Product: Craft
           Version: master
          Platform: Other
                OS: Microsoft Windows
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Core
          Assignee: vonreth at kde.org
          Reporter: richardgarber03 at gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Add 'Path = ' to craftsettings.ini. If any elements of the path have spaces
in them (eg. a path to something in C:\Program Files...) then the path will
fail to load.
2. Attempt to start Craft (execute craftenv.ps1)

OBSERVED RESULT
Craft fails to load Path, or fails to load in general.

EXPECTED RESULT
$Env:Path is changed

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Craft: master (ABI windows-msvc2019_64-cl)
Windows: 22000.526

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This error occurs because the ReadINI function uses trim, which breaks on
whitespace. This can be fixed by changing the environment within the powershell
script, or by calling the original script from a different one, but these
workarounds are clunkier than the intended configuration.
