nvm use fails in windows with a user name containing space

My issue is related to this problem from 3 years ago. nvm-windows fails when the user path contains a space However, none of these solution help me. My user folder name is Sunita Dahal. I successfully installed nvm, I can use nvm install as well as nvm list. But when I try to do nvm use <version> it throws me

C:\Users\Sunita Dahal>nvm use 8.0.0
exit status 1: 'C:\Users\Sunita' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have also updated my system path variables. enter image description here

I also had installed node previously. that is why I have the path C:\Users\Sunita Dahal\AppData\Roaming\npm.

Solution

  • I fixed this issue by updating the settings.txt in nvm to C:/Sunita~1/AppData/roaming/nvm. More about it on https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/issues/41
