Thanks to @hollesse 's port of testbed to go (PR #327 ) it is now possible to run most of tests on Windows natively from a PowerShell or cmd prompt. I have tried running them and found the following issues that need to be fixed:
[x] Some tests, like the TestStartNextStay_DoNotWriteLastModifiedFileInCommit_WhenFileIsDeleted use run to run some simple Unix commands. These should be exchanged to the equivalent go os.* calls so they work on Windows as well.
[x] TestGitRootDir and TestGitRootDirWithSymbolicLink compares native paths to the return value of gitRootDir(), which always retuns paths with / separators. We need to convert one side of the equals to match the other on Windows, for example with filepath.FromSlash.
[x] TestStartNextStay_OpenLastModifiedFile uses the Unix touch utility in configuration.OpenCommand. On Windows we need to change it to a Windows equivalent: cmd.exe /C type nul > target.
