What's the reason to have spaces? it is generally discouraged.

What's the reason to have spaces? it is generally discouraged.

I can't remember if I did that or if it came from setting up Windows with my Microsoft account. Anyways, spaces are a very natural thing to use and they are used by operating systems too (C:\Program Files and ~/Library/Application Support). Not supporting them is a thing of the past that we should try to overcome.

Sorry, I thought you were using a name with spaces for the project name.

Anyways, this seems like it might be a yarn problem, can you try yarn create react-app and see if it succeeds?

You were right, it fails for the same reason. I also found this yarn bug report: yarnpkg/yarn#6851
