No such file or directory when changing directory: Running shell script in ubuntu in windows 10

I have been having issues changing directories using a shell script in windows 10.
In notepad I created a file, test.sh, which has the following script:
#!/bin/bash
cd '/mnt/p/WMScriptTest/'
I then mounted the Ubuntu terminal to the location of the test.sh file by typing in cd /mnt/p/ which works. Next, I typed in ./test.sh and keep getting the following error message:
: No such file or directory/p/WMScriptTest/
I am new to using ubuntu and any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Please edit and add the output ofls -l /mnt/p. In a script one normally doesn’t usecd, but rather absolute paths. You can store paths in variables if that makes it easier, e.g.mypath=/mnt/p/WMScriptTestand thenmkdir "$mypath/mydir"andcp "$mypath/file1" "$mypath/mydir".

I just seem to be unable to change directories from code in my shell script. One of the folders listed from ls -l /mnt/p/ is WMScriptTest that I am trying to change directories to. If I change directories within the terminal itself it works though.

Is the error message really (literally): No such file or directory/p/WMScriptTest/? That looks mangled somehow…

Yes, that is the exact message that I get

Maybe a problem with line endings? askubuntu.com/q/803162/507051
