Vscode-code-runner: C/C++: Can't compile or run when source file path has space(s)

Same problem.
After modifying the configuration as follows:

"code-runner.executorMap": {
"cpp": "cd $dir && g++ \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt\" && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt"｝

I can run the first two command successfully, but it won't work for the last command ($dir$fileNameWithoutExt).

Here is the output.

@Michany Try changing $dir$fileNameWithoutExt to $fileNameWithoutExt?

@hanghang0702 sorry I'm late, @Michany you forgot the escape characters, @formulahendry it isn't the problem on *nix based system the executable file runs with ./"dir"filename ,

"code-runner.executorMap": {
        "javascript": "node",
        "java": "cd $dir && javac \"$fileName\" && java \"./$fileNameWithoutExt\"",
        "c": "cd $dir && gcc \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt\" && \"./$fileNameWithoutExt\"",
        "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt\" && \"./$fileNameWithoutExt\"",
        "objective-c": "cd $dir && gcc -framework Cocoa \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt\" && \"./$fileNameWithoutExt\"",}

I'm not a windows user & I'm not sure if it's going to work on windows (you'll probably need to adjust/change some escape characters or something similar).
I really hope they edit & fix it in the upcoming version(s).

Same issue here.

When I run C code in bash terminal. I get this:
bash: cd: d:\VscodeProjectC\demo" && gcc file1.c -o file1 && _d:VscodeProjectCdemo"file1_: No such file or directory
Obviously, the last command is not recognised correctly. How to fix it?

Hello!

I have a same problem in Mac OS X. Some solution to this bug?
If I rename Example 1.cpp to Example1.cpp or Example_1.cpp then, it works ok...

Thank you!

If you are using Windows, try configuring settings like this:

"code-runner.executorMap": {
    "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt.exe\" && & \"$dir$fileNameWithoutExt.exe\""
}

Pay attention to the extra '&' character.

If you are using Unix based system, try this (I haven't tested, but I think this would work):

"code-runner.executorMap": {
    "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt\" && \"$dir$fileNameWithoutExt\""
}

Hello, I have the same problem. I'm using Windows, I'm trying to run a simple C++ program, I don't have spaces anywhere in the path or file name.

[Running] cd "c:\Users\Guillaume\Desktop\" && g++ test.cpp -o test && "c:\Users\Guillaume\Desktop\"test
g++: error: test.cpp: No such file or directory
g++: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.

If I copy the command as is, and paste it in a cmd.exe then it works without problem :/

I made changes as suggested by others but nothing worked.

EDIT: Solved! Here is how, maybe it will help others :

"code-runner.executorMap": {
    "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ $dirWithoutTrailingSlash\\$fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && $fileNameWithoutExt"
}

hello there...
i am not able to find code-runner,executorMap anywhere
where exactly do i paste this piece of code ...
in settings.json ? ... it did not work be pasting the code there ... :(

Yes in settings.json.

I finally used this command instead:

"cpp": "cd $dir ; g++ $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe ; .\\$fileNameWithoutExt.exe"

Here is extract of my settings.json :

    "c-cpp-compile-run.cpp-compiler": "C:\\MinGW\\bin",
    "window.zoomLevel": -1,
    "code-runner.executorMap": {
        //"javascript": "node",
        //"php": "C:\\php\\php.exe",
        //"python": "python",
        //"perl": "perl",
        //"ruby": "C:\\Ruby23-x64\\bin\\ruby.exe",
        //"go": "go run",
        //"html": "\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\"",
        //"java": "cd $dir && javac $fileName && java $fileNameWithoutExt",
        //"c": "cd $dir && gcc $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt",
        "cpp": "cd $dir ; g++ $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe ; .\\$fileNameWithoutExt.exe"

    },
    "C_Cpp.default.cppStandard": "c++20",
    "C_Cpp.default.cStandard": "c11",

I believe I am also having this issue. Are there any plans on resolving it? Here are my results:
$ cd "c:\Users\Jacob Armiger\Documents\cpp_files\" && g++ hello.cpp -o hello && "c:\Users\Jacob Armiger\Documents\cpp_files\"hello bash: cd: too many arguments

Hello, after trying a lot of time I found the solution, hope this will help others

"cpp": "cd $dir && g++ \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt\" && .\\"$fileNameWithoutExt\"",

Hello, after trying a lot of time I found the solution, hope this will help others

"cpp": "cd $dir && g++ "$fileName" -o "$fileNameWithoutExt" && .\"$fileNameWithoutExt"",

Where to add this?? IN settings.json file in .vscode?? or somewhere else?

-->Yeah you need to copy that on your settings.json (exactly in your executor map) on vscode, i’m going to attach a photo  

Windows Guys!
Just Copy Past This to your settings.json file

I did a lot of research and this will surely work

"code-runner.executorMap": {
    "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt\" && \"$fileNameWithoutExt\""
},

If you are using Windows, try configuring settings like this:

"code-runner.executorMap": {
    "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt.exe\" && & \"$dir$fileNameWithoutExt.exe\""
}

Pay attention to the extra '&' character.

"code-runner.executorMap": {
    "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ \"$fileName\" -o \"$fileNameWithoutExt\" && \"$dir$fileNameWithoutExt\""
}

this worked for me. I Am now able to compile and run c cpp and java files('&' is not needed in java though if anyone is wondering)

This solution works!! Finally my c program could be compiled and run. Thanks!

It really helped, Thank You!
I am on Windows

PLEASE HELP!!!😭 I'm getting the same error.

This and still I'm getting the same error.

And my environment variables :

And just in case if anyone has doubts about my files and such...

@formulahendry @HeyJayant @kaushik-rishi

@tripathi-abhishek use this

In case you run into issues with a bash error like "bash: cd: too many arguments"

Fixed by:-
Go to visual studio code settings for code runner and replace cpp key value pair in code-runner.executorMap with the following :-
"code-runner.executorMap": {
"cpp": "g++ $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && './$fileNameWithoutExt.exe'"
}

Screenshot:-
replace your cpp key value pair with the below mentioned code in "code-runner.executorMap" like:-

@VipulKhandelwal1999 thanks this worked!

@ushakhanal read my comments. I have already explained what to do in case of "too many arguments" error.
