Andy Seaborne updated IVY-908:
------------------------------
On windows "\" and "/" are acceptable separators: hence documentation saying
"/path/to" is confusing:
Test:: this is without Cygwin:
Absolute: /foo/bar==>false
Parent: /foo/bar==>\foo
Absolute: \foo\bar==>false
Parent: \foo\bar==>\foo
Absolute: c:/foo/bar==>true
Parent: c:/foo/bar==>c:\foo # Shows / is a separator.
Absolute: c:\foo\bar==>true
Parent: c:\foo\bar==>c:\foo
from::
static void test(String x)
{
System.out.println("Absolute: "+x+"==>"+new File(x).isAbsolute()) ;
System.out.println("Parent: "+x+"==>"+new File(x).getParent()) ;
System.out.println() ;
}
public static void main(String ... args) throws IOException
{
test("/foo/bar") ;
test("\\foo\\bar") ;
test("c:/foo/bar") ;
test("c:\\foo\\bar") ;
System.exit(0) ;
}
> UNIX-style filenames for paths to work on MS-Windows

> Key: IVY-908
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-908
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1
> Environment: cywgin on MS Wondows.
> Reporter: Andy Seaborne
> Priority: Minor
>
> A file name /path/to/repository is not absolute on MS-Windows. A drive
> letter is needed.
> This is particularly confusing if using cygwin but is true when using Windows
> without cygwin ("/" is an acceptable path separator).
> Leads to less portability between Linux and Windows.
> In 2.0-RC-1, more paths must be absolute (e.g filesystem resolver artifact
> pattern, keyfile to sftp resolver).
