Bundle targets fail when path contains spaces

[prupipho]

It´s not a big issue when you know what´s happening as you can avoid it. But it would be nice if it works.
Similar to this old issue

Steps To Reproduce

0. Create a folder that contain spaces on its name. For example: C:/Code/React Native
1. Create new app using latest version and typescript running:
   npx react-native init MyTSApp --template react-native-template-typescript cd MyTSApp
2. Move to folder with cd MyTsApp and run npx react-native-windows-init --overwrite --language cs
3. Install dependencies running yarn
4. Try creating an App Package. Right-click project > Publish > Create App Packages
   • create new certificate an choose Release

Expected Results

It should create the App Package but it fails.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository:

Error:

• Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir 'C:\Code\React'
• The command "npx --no-install react-native bundle --platform windows --entry-file index.js --bundle-output C:\Code\React Native\samplepp\windows\samplepp\Bundle\index.windows.bundle --assets-dest C:\Code\React Native\samplepp\windows\samplepp\Bundle --dev false --reset-cache --sourcemap-output C:\Code\React Native\samplepp\windows\samplepp\bin\x86\Release\sourcemaps\react\index.windows.bundle.map " exited with code 1. samplepp
• Note: It created a file with the first block of the text of the folder "React Native" -> " React", at the same level of that folder: C: in our sample. content of the file starts with:

{"version":3,"sources":["__prelude__","C:\\code\\React Native....

Error when trying to create de package

Seems like we need some extra quotes around input with possible spaces in our MSBuild targets running bundle commands.

Thanks for looking into this, is there a possibility to back-port this to 0.64?

[eastcoastcoder]

Please reopen, this is still not working as of RN 0.65

New regression in 0.65. Issue is in the dependencies script, according to the screenshot. cc @asklar

[chrisglein]

Worth adding a regression test that has a space so we catch issues like this earlier.

[asklar]

The bug is not in the dependencies script (the error is that the dependencies script cannot be run). The bug is in the doctor/healthcheck code:
