Jira (PUP-3037) Pluginsync notices on Windows reports file paths with forward slashes

Re: Pluginsync notices on Windows reports file paths with forward slashes
This is actually intentional. The first issue is that ruby defines File::SEPARATOR as forward slash everywhere, and File::ALT_SEPARATOR as backslash on windows, nil on other platforms. In other words, forward slashes are preferred and can be seen from:
irb(main):001:0> File.expand_path('C:\foo')
=> "C:/foo"
Nearly all Windows APIs dealing with filesystem paths accept forward and backslashes, e.g. CreateFile, etc. There are some parts of windows, namely legacy parts, that require backslashes, like msiexec.exe, cmd.exe, etc. In cases where we can, puppet will automatically backslashify, e.g.
PUP-398
. Otherwise, it's up to the user to specify, e.g. install_options for a package.
Since we need a canonical file representation, and it's very likely module authors will end up with forward slashes, we've adopted forward slashes. This makes it possible to manage intra and intermodule relationships in a sane way, and generally simplifies things.
This is pretty clearly documented in https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3.6/reference/lang_windows_file_paths.html#directory-separators, so I'm going to close this as will not fix.

Re: Pluginsync notices on Windows reports file paths with forward slashes
This might be nice with windows, but carries a fine line for fixes. The implementation should only convert these for the message it's reporting on (not the actual resource's path) and I'm really not sure if it should convert the File resource name.

Re: Pluginsync notices on Windows reports file paths with forward slashes
Hmm that seems like it would be a nice improvement. Not sure if there are entanglements though. Rob Reynolds thoughts?
