drush.launcher removes spaces from drush.ini settings

[dmp1ce]

drush.launcher will remove spaces from values set in drush.ini. This caught me by surprise because I didn't know there were multiple launchers. Now I'm using drush.php which works fine. I was using drush finder which was then calling drush.launcher. Drush is installed via composer using the drupal-composer/drupal-project project using the 7.x branch.

I did spend some time trying to debug the drush.launcher script and found the problem line to be https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/blob/8.x/drush.launcher#L119 although no matter what shell tricks I tried to use, I couldn't figure out how to produce a exec command that would work as expected.

If the code is left as is, then spaces will be removed. For example I had sendmail_path='/usr/bin/msmtp -a myvhost -t' set in drush.ini and it would be changed to sendmail_path='/usr/bin/msmtp-amyvhost-t'. If I left the space in, then the exec command will fail a few lines down in the script.

Drush 7 is no longer supported.

Drush 9 no longer supports drush.ini. It would be best to not rely on it. Try setting the PHPRC environment variable to point to the php.ini you want to use.

OK. I did get a fix for this. I didn't know that the 8.x branch was Drush 7.

I'll try to use the PHPRC environment variable.
