The error style looks like running in cmd.
The bash error is like bash: C:\Users\jinbwan : No such file or directory

Could you kill all existing terminals and try again?

My default shell is Git Bash
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe",

Using double quote to escape spaces works for my git bash environment.

Here is my git environment. Not sure what's difference with yours.

Also found a similar issue in git repository git-for-windows/git#2219 .

I'm having exactly the same issue!

It seems to be related with the launcher.bat command. For testing purposes, if I remove the launcher.bat out of the equation and paste the contents of the temp arg file, then I get something along the lines of

"C:\\Users\Joel Alvim\DevelopmentTools\Java\JDK11\bin\java" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -classpath "C:\\Users\\Joel Alvim\\Documents\\MyData\\Projects\\CSVtoJSON\\target\\classes;C:\\Users\\Joel Alvim\\.m2\\repository\\com\\fasterxml\\jackson\\core\\jackson-core\\2.9.8\ \jackson-core-2.9.8.jar;C:\\Users\\Joel Alvim\\.m2\\repository\\com\\fasterxml\\jackson\\core\\jackson-databind\\2.9.8\\jackson-databind-2.9.8.jar;C:\\Users\\Joel Alvim\\.m2\\repository\\com\\fasterxml\\jackson\\core\\jackson-annotations\\2.9.0\\jackson-annotations- 2.9.0.jar" some.App

This above works in the integrated terminal

The original below doesn't
"C:\\Users\\Joel Alvim\\.vscode\\extensions\\vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.23.0\\scripts\\launcher.bat" "C:\\Users\\Joel Alvim\\DevelopmentTools\\Java\\JDK11\\bin\\java" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 @C:\\Users\\JOELAL~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\cp_9i03mo6zpdpj3xoi5eid3h5gr.a rgfile some.App

Could you have a try to change the terminal to powershell or cmd?

For me that works, but the whole point was to use the power of 'nix

It seems this problem cannot be solved without change %USERPROFILE% folder to one without spaces. I've switched to portable VSCode instead, which is more convinient and easily to move the editor around.

@andreehai1011 Take the test by switching to PowerShell

@m1ndwalker You're right. I also can reproduce this in git bash. If the first argument after the bat contains space (e.g. "x y"), the bat file failed because of unexpected path.

This is a Git bash issue. To unblock the debugger users who're using Git bash, i would disable the launcher.bat if the windows user name has blank spaces.
