Possible to use workbench with iCloud?

Developer Tools
1

I would like to keep some workbench projects in my iCloud folder.

The path for that folder is something like: /Users/sam/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/workbench-icloud-test-feb16/
There is always whitespace between Mobile and Documents.

I know workbench does not like whitespaces in a path, but I can create a project there if I create a shortcut from my Documents folder to the iCloud folder.

However once I try to compile some code, I will always get something like:

I am pretty sure workbench is just cutting off the path where it finds that whitespace in /Mobile Documents/ and cannot find any of the dependencies because it is no longer looking in the correct place.

Is there any way to remedy this so that I can keep my workbench projects on iCloud?

Does it work if you make a symbolic link?

ln -s '/Users/sam/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs' ~/icloud

Your project would then be accessible via:

/Users/sam/icloud/workbench-icloud-test-feb16/

Thank you for the suggestion. I was using a symlink before, but I just created a new one with a different name and the result is the same. It seems like workbench knows where the symbolic link points and just goes there…
