Behaviour with backslashes in config.xml file paths #42

Closed bitsgalore closed 6 years ago

bitsgalore commented 7 years ago

Paths like below:

<rootDir>E:\test\nimbieTest</rootDir>

Seem to work OK, but at some point during testing the \t sequences were suddenly interpreted as tabs, see also:

The issues rather mysteriously disappeared by itself, but need to keep watching this.

To be 100% safe we could use only forward slashes in config.xml (this allways works), but this is not super convenient when copying filepaths from e.g. Windows Explorer.
