Fails with permission / unable to find directory errors on windows

[djmitchella]

Repro steps, starting from scratch (windows 7, both running command window as an administrator and running it as a normal user; it's fine on OSX, though)

1. make new folder, cd into it
2. ember init (which is 0.1.9 in a clean new project as I write this, but the same thing happens in our real app which is on 0.1.7)
3. ember serve -- everything is fine, so now kill the 'ember serve' process.
4. npm install --save-dev ember-browserify

5. ember serve

   The errors below then show up, and the build fails.

1. npm uninstall --save-dev ember-browserify

2. ember serve -- now it's back working again.

   Some other things I noticed which may or may not help narrow this down:

   1. I get the same errors if I remove tmp/ and dist/ before re-running 'ember build', or if I npm install ember-browserify before the first attempt to build.
   2. The 'file added tmp\tree_merger...' messages don't show up until I've added ember-browserify
   3. If I remove the ember-browserify line from package.json, but leave the ember-browserify folder under node_modules, the ember serve process starts working again. (I'm not exactly sure what this tells us, but I thought I'd mention it)

:+1: +1 same issue on Windows, issue is caused by adding this lib as described above.

[bjornstar]

I just replicated this on a windows machine, the problem is here - https://github.com/ef4/ember-browserify/blob/master/lib/caching-browserify.js#L148

Capitalization of the drive letter is mismatched and causes ember to watch the project directory (a bad thing).

dir:  c:\Users\Bjorn\test_project
self.root: C:\Users\Bjorn\test_project

Investigating possible solutions.

[johnnyshields]

wouldn't a case insensitive comparison work?

[ef4]

Probably, but I wonder where else in ember-cli this is biting people.
