Apostrophe in file name breaks registry.js

[Sainan]

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Prerequisites

• I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
• I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
• I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
• I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io. (Can repro on StackBlitz; CodeSandbox filters apostrophes.)
• I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

For example, creating a file called "Beginner's Guide.md" causes it to be written to registry.js verbatim:

So, we obviously have a syntax error there.

Reproducible demo

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a file with an apostrophe in it's name, such as "Beginner's Guide.md"
2. Run npm start

Expected behavior

The apostrophe would be escaped.

Actual behavior

The apostrophe is written verbatim.

Your environment

• Docusaurus version used: Whichever the latest one published to NPM is as of 2023-07-20

Self-service

• I'd be willing to fix this bug myself.

I guess workaround is using the file name like a slug and the "title" in the frontmatter for the actual title, but pretty meh issue to have to be working around, and expected better handling.

You should generally avoid special characters in file paths, because even if this one is fixed, you may run into other issues with other tools that do a naïve string joining when running shell commands. Of course this is dangerous for them to do in the first place, but it can be easily mitigated.
