source map outputs '\\' but not '/' in the sources path list on Windows

[benxshen]

Here is my simple gulpfile, just copying from the given sample of simplifyify README.md:

var gulp        = require("gulp"),
    simplifyify = require("simplifyify");   // https://www.npmjs.com/package/simplifyify

gulp.task("browserify", function(done) {
  simplifyify("app.js",
    {
        outfile: "bundle.js",
        debug: true,
        minify: true
    })
    // .on("end", function() {
    //     // Finished successfully!
    //     done();
    // })
    .on("error", function(err) {
        // Something went wrong
        done(err);
    });
});

And the output of the bundle.js.map as below (my OS is Windows 10 64bit)

  "version": 3,
  "sources": [
    "node_modules\\browserify\\node_modules\\browser-pack\\_prelude.js",
    "app.js",
    "buttons\\button.js",
    "node_modules\\jquery\\dist\\jquery.js"
  ],
  ...

however, if I use browserify app.js --debug | exorcist bundle.js.map > bundle.js, I will get as follow:

  "version": 3,
  "sources": [
    "node_modules/browserify/node_modules/browser-pack/_prelude.js",
    "app.js",
    "buttons/button.js",
    "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js"
  ],
  ...

I think the output path of the source with '' will be not correct when I deploy them to the server. Is it a bug? or where can I have an option to make the path separator to '/', but not system default sep ''?

Thank you.

I think you're right, that this is a bug. When I get a chance, I'll look into it further to confirm whether it's a bug and get it fixed. Thanks for reporting it!

I looked into this further, and I honestly don't know whether it's a bug or not. The source maps are created by Exorcist, which in-turn uses mold-source-map. That's where the backslashes are coming from. So, it may be a bug in mold-source-map, or it may not be a bug at all. I don't know the details of the source map spec, so I can't say for sure.

I'm gonna' go ahead and close this issue, since I'm not sure if it's actually a bug or not. If it is a bug, then it's a bug in mold-source-map
