Found something which causes untrackable errors!

Hi! I've just have had a couple of days where I experienced an error which I could not find from the error messages. OMG i'm so happy I found it :p and it has to do with this plugin 👍

Currently when I fire a task from quickTask dropdown menu, it runs the following: cd /d "c:\xampp\htdocs\wizer\packages\website". To be honest it works so fine, however when running my webpack config it causes all sorts of weird errors such as:

• Module did not self-register
• Module parse failed: Unexpected token (105:3) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

There are multiple modules with names that only differ in casing.
This can lead to unexpected behavior when compiling on a filesystem with other case-semantic.
Use equal casing. Compare these module identifiers:
* C:\xampp\htdocs\wizer\packages\dashboard\node_modules\process\browser.js

The issue is a classic in programming, namely a letter that is normally UPPERCASE being used in lowercase. Which is not obvious...

So when I manually do the cd packages/website it goes to C:\xampp\htdocs\wizer\packages\website, notice that C is in capital letter. When running the same command as I would via quickTask it runs fine, no errors anywhere.

Solve this by making sure that the letter of the volume is capitalized. This took me a total of 3 days to figure out what was going wrong. I tried removing all node_modules, updating most libraries, etc. I hope this helps anybody else who is on windows and trying to figure out what the heck is wrong.
