If basedir contains \x then the Javascript engine will try to interpret it as a hex digit and fails

[mennodenhollander]

I cannot execute graphviz-java (0.16.3) in a (sub) directory that starts with 'x'.

Steps to reproduce:

• On windows I run Graphviz in a folder containing \x, e.g. C:\xml-data\
• Then graphviz will execute the render() javascript function.
• Then graphviz (NashornJavascriptEngine) fails and throws an exception pointing to the \x string:

  guru.nidi.graphviz.engine.GraphvizException: Problem executing javascript
  ...
  Caused by: javax.script.ScriptException: <eval>:1:4555 Invalid hex digit
  render(... ,{format:'svg',engine:'dot',basedir:'C:\xml-data\.',images:[]});

Maybe the basedir path is not properly escaped?

fixed in 0.17.0
