ctx.run inside ctx.cd fails when path contains spaces on Windows

[clarkb7]

example

@task
def repro(ctx):
    import tempfile
    d = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix="with space")
    with ctx.cd(d):
        ctx.run("whoami")

output

The system cannot find the path specified.

debug output

The system cannot find the path specified.
invoke.program.run: Received a possibly-skippable exception: <UnexpectedExit: cmd='cd C:\\Users\\BRANDE~1.CLA\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\with\\ spacekk8c0niv && whoami' exited=1>

it looks like ctx.cwd improperly escapes the whitespace for Windows by adding a backslash. If using the cd command this way the path should be enclosed in double quotes. Why do you use the cd command instead of the cwd parameter to subprocess.Popen?

[jamesmyatt]

The escaping of the spaces in cd is definitely wrong for Windows. Needs to be enclosed in " or escaped with ^ or ``` depending on whether it's using CMD or Powershell. e.g. https://www.howtogeek.com/694949/how-to-escape-spaces-in-file-paths-on-the-windows-command-line/.

:/ I'm new to working on windows - is there a workaround for this?
