If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

Describe the Bug

This might be an NPM or a Vite problem but I just started using Astro and it refuses to build if the project path contains a space on MacOS: for example, ".../new website" does not build, while ".../website" does.

The error is as follows:

astro vscode [ERROR] [vite] cannot find entry point module '.../Documents/new%20website/Site/node_modules/@astrojs/mdx/dist/server.js'.

It goes away if I change the path to the project to this: ".../Documents/Website/Site/node_modules/@astrojs/mdx/dist/server.js"

It was easy to fix for me, but I imagine if for example someone's username contains a space then they are in deep trouble.

What's the expected result?

Astro building my site.

Link to Minimal Reproducible Example

should be trivial to reproduce - in my case I just used the blog template and created a scratch project under a path with a space in the pathname.

OK, I can reproduce this, and it's specifically an error in the MDX plugin. Thanks for the report!

Seems this was introduced in @astrojs/[email protected]

[ascorbic]

Because of links etc, this can be reproduced in the Astro monorepo only if the monorepo itself has a space in the filename, or the package path.

Looks like this is a Vite bug: vitejs/vite#9917
