Docker wont run if home path has spaces in it

Docker Desktop for Mac
1

Expected behavior

sudo mv /Users/FirstLast /Users/First\ Last
Update home folder location in user accounts, reboot.
Run Docker.

Actual behavior

Docker wont run until I move my home directory back to something without spaces. Docker does work if my home directory is something different than when I installed the OS, so I know it’s specifically because the escaped spaces in the path name.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for the report. I have opened issue #4346 in our tracker to ensure this gets resolved.

Thanks for participating in the Docker for Mac Beta!
