Fixes #8991

Summary

  • Quote $(dirname "$0") to handle script paths with spaces
  • Quote ${REPO_ROOT_DIR} in the cp destination to prevent word-splitting

Unquoted command substitutions and variable expansions break when paths contain whitespace.

Unquoted command substitutions and variables break on paths containing
whitespace. Quote $(dirname "$0") and ${REPO_ROOT_DIR} to handle
paths with spaces correctly.

Hi @Ankitsinghsisodya. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a knative member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Tip

We noticed you've done this a few times! Consider joining the org to skip this step and gain /lgtm and other bot rights. We recommend asking approvers on your previous PRs to sponsor you.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Changes:

  • Quote the dirname command substitution used to locate and run generate-yamls.sh.
  • Quote ${REPO_ROOT_DIR} in the cp destination so repo paths with spaces work correctly.
