Links with Windows Separator are resolved on Unix #139

Open assuiedmilan opened 2 years ago

assuiedmilan commented 2 years ago

Today I just discovered that one of my markdown links was broken on Unix. The reason: someone used a windows separator in the path, so the link is working properly on windows.

Now, since the check runs on a Ubuntu VM, I expected it to fail. But it passed.

What could explain it, and could we fix it ?

@assuiedmilan It's very hard to figure out what's going on without an example,

can you post the run output ?
can you try running markdown-link-check locally on you file and identify if it passes on Windows and fails on *nix?

From the description, I think it's most probably related to the underlying markdown-link-checklibrary.
