FetchGCSObject processor in NiFi fails to fetch files with space in file name

[#1]

I am running into a problem with the NiFi fetchgcsobject processor.. It fails when trying to retrieve files with spaces in the file name... Below is a sanpshot of the error. Interestingly the listgcsbucket works fine and lists the file. fetchgcsobject is where it fails. It also works fine with files that have no spaces in the file name. This works on version 1.10. Is this a bug on 1.12.1? I tried to encode spaces with %20 .. that doesnt help either..

Failed to fetch GCS object due to Blob BlobID(bucket=test-bbbb, name=outbound/test file.pdf) not found

@SandeepG01    Ahh no fun with bad filenames.  Space in filename is highly not recommended in these days and times.  That said,  a solution you might try is to \  (backslash) the space.   Especially in the context of passing the filename in flowfile attributes.   If you still need to allow spaces and cannot resolve upstream (do not use spaces), i might suggest submitting your experience over on the NiFI jira as a bug:
