In Gradle Flutter task, correctly replace '\ ' with ' '. #175815

mboetger · 2025-09-22T22:08:50Z

Gradle does not like paths with '\ ' in them.

It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging.

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group.

Code Review

This pull request addresses an issue where paths with escaped spaces were causing problems for Gradle. The change replaces escaped spaces (\ ) with regular spaces in dependency file paths. My review includes a suggestion to simplify the implementation by using a single regular expression, which makes the code more concise and robust.

LGTM, I think this should be easy to test by writing another test for getSourceFiles in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/src/test/kotlin/tasks/FlutterTaskHelperTest.kt#L106

Also discussed offline that this is a regression because the old groovy logic was using replaceAll which takes a regex

flutter/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/src/main/groovy/flutter.groovy

Line 1816 in ea121f8

def depList = matcher.collect{ it[0].replaceAll("\\\\ ", " ") }

and this was mistakenly replaced with a replacement method taking a string, so the escaping was no longer needed, which is the explanation of why this was a regression

Can we also update an existing integration test that create, builds, and validates a project to instead be created in a directory with a space in it?

Looks like there is a test actually failing on line 33 of FlutterTaskHelperTest, presumably because the method it is testing doesn't actually handle windows slashes properly:
