So to start the discussion, this bug happens because path.join() uses \ on Windows while / on other platforms. We could argue where is the best place to normalize paths again to use /, I think just before saving the config file is a good choice.

Let me know what you think about this patch; do you want a comment in code? extract it as a separate method maybe?

This is a small patch and a number of people are waiting for it, so I'd love to have it merged soon :)

Thanks
Jakub

Thanks for the PR!

I like doing it before saving in config.xml, because then two people running on different platforms won't constantly be changing it back and forth in version control.

Will see to getting this merged in soon, please ping me in a few days if it has not been closed.

change the dependency on Path to Upath instead, which does platform detection before concatenating paths. a safer code change. https://www.npmjs.com/package/upath
