Description

If a path has a special character in it, such as a tab, the output of docker-compose config is

services:
  test_hay:
    volumes:
    - "/tmp/f o  o\tbar/test-docker_functions.bsh-3685004.q7YBc5ev/test4:/src:rw"
    - "/tmp/f o  o\tbar/test-docker_functions.bsh-3591660.0AqqVZoq/test4/foo\"b'ar:/src:rw"
    - "/tmp/f o  o\tbar/test-docker_functions.bsh-3591660.0AqqVZoq/test4/f\U0001F61B\
      oo\"b'ar:/src:rw"

parse-docker-compose-volumes does not currently handle this for long or short formats.

Unicode is an issue, and not generally supported.

Research direction

Start by locating the parse-docker-compose-volumes entry point and its handling of long and short volume formats. Reproduce the examples with docker-compose config, then inspect any related tests or parsing logic; done means paths containing tabs, quotes, spaces, and similar special characters are handled in both formats, while Unicode remains unsupported as stated.
