OptionSplitter - Doesn't work as expected on windows OS

[tamil777selvan]

👓 What did you see?

OptionSplitter is not working as expected in windows os.

✅ What did you expect to see?

When providing 'file:///c:/reporter.js' as input to the 'format' function, it splits the path into ['file:///c', '/reporter.js'], resulting in an error.

📦 Which tool/library version are you using?

• Cucumber JS - 9.5.1

🔬 How could we reproduce it?

Run cucumber JS by providing the custom formatter path created by the pathToFileURL method.

📚 Any additional context?

Hey @tamil777selvan. There is a change in the works to improve the parsing here.

But also, you should be able to wrap the value in an array and Cucumber will not attempt to split it. So like:

format: [ [ 'file:///c:/reporter.js' ] ] 

(It also supports a second item in the array to denote the target file, but from what I know of your use case that's not needed.)
