Compilation error on Windows

[bluebear94]

Scalatex sources can't be compiled on Windows since path names use backslashes, which happen to be the escape character for string.

This problem can be fixed by using triple quotes around paths in generated source files or replacing backslashes with forward slashes.

edit: is it a coincidence that this is issue #9?

Sure. Want to send a PR? I don't have a windows machine to repro on

[bluebear94]

It should be as simple as using one of the fixes I suggested.

At scalatexSbtPlugin/src/main/scala/scalatex/SbtPlugin.scala line 36:

| def apply(): Frag = scalatex.twf("${inFile.getAbsolutePath.replaceAll("\\\\", "/")}")

uses the latter workaround.

Yeah but do you want me to do it, and botch it because I didn't test it, and not fix anything? Or do you want to try it out and make sure it works? =P

[bluebear94]

Sure, provided that you tell me how to test it.

Edit: the change doesn't break compilation, and file handling does take forward slashes on Windows.

sbt test

Runs the unit tests. This tests both the low level parser/etc. as well as the whole compilation pipeline.

sbt readme/run

Should generate an output file in readme/target/output. See if that works and looks right on your machine

[bluebear94]

Error output for testing.

There might be dependencies that assume that absolute pathnames are forward-slashed (as in Unix) as well.

[lihaoyi]

Hmm ok. I don't have a windows laptop handy to repro, but if you have time to debug/send a PR I'd really appreciate it!

I just created a pull request that seems to fix this issue.
