Something needs to quote paths, seems like it is mix?

Just upgrading to latest Erlang (25.0.2) & Elixir (1.13.4):

❯ mix deps.compile
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: -c: line 0: `/Users/sribe/.mix/rebar3 bare compile --paths /Users/sribe/Desktop/Projects/Colvin/PedCard_work/(supporting projects)/utilities/_build/dev/lib/*/ebin'

Just judging by the error alone it looks like rebar isn’t liking a path with ( in it. Maybe try the rebar3 bare compile .... command directly from the shell and see if you get the same error?

I believe the problem is that the path given to rebar is not quoted properly–it would break with spaces even without parens. I just don’t know where to look…

I think this is the place that is missing the quoting:

elixir-lang/elixir/blob/main/lib/mix/lib/mix/tasks/deps.compile.ex#L218


      
          File.write!(config_path, rebar_config(dep))
          
          
env = [
            # REBAR_BARE_COMPILER_OUTPUT_DIR is only honored by rebar3 >= 3.14
            {"REBAR_BARE_COMPILER_OUTPUT_DIR", build_path},
            {"REBAR_CONFIG", config_path},
            {"REBAR_PROFILE", "prod"},
            {"TERM", "dumb"}
          ]
          
          
cmd = "#{rebar_cmd(dep)} bare compile --paths #{lib_path}"
          do_command(dep, config, cmd, false, env)
          
          
build_priv = Path.join(build_path, "priv")
          dep_priv = Path.join(dep_path, "priv")
          
          
# Copy priv/ after compilation too if it was created then
          if File.exists?(dep_priv) and not File.exists?(build_priv) do
            Mix.Utils.symlink_or_copy(config[:build_embedded], dep_priv, build_priv)
          end
