Currently I have a bash script with cd $PATH_TO_BUILD where PATH_TO_BUILD=$(pwd)/develop/build. The pwd does have a space in the name and is causing the error however I can't seem to escape this with double quotes. Even if I do PATH_TO_BUILD="$(pwd)"/develop/build or put the $pwd in a different variable before I still get the error. How can I get around this?

3Is your script using `cd $PATH_TO_BUILD` (missing the `$` in your question), perhaps, and it should be using `cd "$PATH_TO_BUILD"`? – Jeff Schaller Nov 04 '21 at 20:14
