Glob doesn't find anything on windows

[eyaldar]

Description
I have a folder with a bunch of SVG files on windows, I set SVGSpriteMapPlugin like this:

new SVGSpriteMapPlugin(path.join(__dirname,"src","assets","images","vector","workspaceGallery","*.svg").replace(/\\/g,'/'), {
	output: {
		filename: `sprites/workspaceSprites.svg`,
		svgo: true
	},
	sprite: {
		prefix: false,
		generate: {
			title: false
		}
	}
})

But once I run it it seems that path gets normalized here in line 63 back to backslash based lines which doesnt seem to work with glob.sync anymore (updateDependencies function)

I'm pretty sure i'm missing something here because this used to work for me up until I reinstalled the entire node_modules,
that being said, I did find this node-glob issue which seems to say the same thing.
see also this one

my hacky solution in the meantime is to override use to glob 7.2.0

Expected behavior
The svg files are found no matter what system you use

Actual behavior
glob doesn't find any svg files if the paths are normalized to windows (using backlashes)

System information
Windows 10

Looks like others are also running into this issue:

• Coordinated fix on Feb 12 broke Windows path handling between node-glob and minimatch isaacs/node-glob#471 (comment)

I can't really test on a Windows setup unfortunately so I'm thinking out loud here... It looks like the allowWindowsEscape option that will be introduced by isaacs/node-glob#468 would solve this? Once that lands you should be able to set it using the input.options option of this plugin.

I can't really make it a default because that could cause breaking changes for users on Windows that actually want to escape characters, which is why the was made in node-glob.

Yeah, should be good enough, in the mean time I forced version 7.2.0 and everything works as it used to be.

in react native throws same error

Glob 7.2.3 was released a few hours ago, which should contain the fix to this issue.

I'm closing this as this seems to be resolved, feel free to comment if I misinterpreted 😘
