Absolute path as parameters

[isaelblais]

Hi,

I don't understand why I call javascript-obfuscator with absolute path and it doesn't work. I call it like this:

javascript-obfuscator C:\NodeJsObfuscate\src --output C:\NodeJsObfuscate\obfuscated

I get the error: Illegal characters in path. When I pass absolute path a source files, the app get the source correctly and it works, but the absolute path for the --output parameters cause error. What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance

Hi. I can't test it on the Windows, so maybe someone other can help you.

[sanex3339]

Anyone can investigate this?

[xiaoyijun]

maybe you can try
javascript-obfuscator C:\\NodeJsObfuscate\\src --output C:\\NodeJsObfuscate\\obfuscated

Hi. Any news?

[isaelblais]

maybe you can try
javascript-obfuscator C:\\NodeJsObfuscate\\src --output C:\\NodeJsObfuscate\\obfuscated

I tried all the variants of slashes possible. The problem was still there, but i managed to found a workaround.

I'll need this obfuscator soon enough to give you feedback concerning this problem / bug

No, not slashes or backslashes cause this bug.

First, i used to think that is because of exception in mkdirp package, caused by path-arg.js:17
But then i checked it separately and it worked fine.

Then i added some console.log to /node_modules/javascript-obfuscator/node_modules/mkdirp/lib/path-arg.js and what i get that path (pathArg function argument) equals... D:\_PROJECTS\_WEB\test\result\D:\_PROJECTS\_WEB\test\src
And then mkdirp causes exception because of illegal : in path!

Soooo:
My command:
javascript-obfuscator D:\_PROJECTS\_WEB\test\src --output D:\_PROJECTS\_WEB\test\result

Expected result path:
D:\_PROJECTS\_WEB\test\result

Actual result path:
D:\_PROJECTS\_WEB\test\result\D:\_PROJECTS\_WEB\test\src

I think bug is in function getOutputCodePath in cli/utils/ObfuscatedCodeWriter.ts:38

This we have also faced. Has this been addressed? @sanex3339

[sanex3339]

PR welcomed. Also, i need a way to test this behaviour under UNIX environment, but I don't sure how to do that.

[sanex3339]

Anybody can test this PR:
#772 ?

[sanex3339]

Merged to the master branch. I'll release a new version soon.
