Coordinated fix on Feb 12 broke Windows path handling between node-glob and minimatch

[jsuddsjr]

When using allowWindowsEscape=true in minimatch options, glob is forcing minimatch to treat the path as though it contained escapes rather than Windows path separators (backslashes). Notice the negation in the following statement, which would entirely fix the issue if it were allowed to run.

  if (!options.allowWindowsEscape && path.sep !== '/') {
    pattern = pattern.split(path.sep).join('/')
  }

Therefore, glob@7.2.2 combined with minimatch@^3.1.1 cannot locate files using patterns like:

E:\\Src\\repo\\packages\\test\\.storybook\\main{'.js','.jsx'}

Unfortunately, this is causing the latest version of Storybook to fail to locate configuration files in its default state in Windows. Error: No configuration files have been found in your configDir.

Please coordinate another fix.

similar issue after npm update

For right now, the only solution I can think of is to pin glob at 7.2.1, or 7.2.0 if 7.2.1 is the issue.

@jsuddsjr Is this not an issue on 7.2.1? If so, how about 7.2.0?

[nicolas377]

The issue seems to be at 73feafd. It will not show up on non-windows systems.

allowWindowsEscape is documented here, which indicates that the translation from \ to / will not occur. That is an undocumented breaking change for windows users. I will open a PR to revert the setting of allowWindowsEscape. For right now, pin glob to 7.2.0 with npm overrides, like this:

package.json

  "overrides": {
    "glob": "7.2.0"
  }

7.2.0 is work.

[nicolas377]

Could you try overriding glob to my PR and checking if it works?

package.json

  "overrides": {
    "glob": "github:nicolas377/node-glob#revert-allowWindowsEscape"
  }

  # yarn

7.2.1 introduced the flag, 7.2.0 works as expected.

Can you try using glob 7.2.3?

If that doesn't work, idk, might just have to roll back that change entirely, or do a different thing.

[nicolas377]

The only problem was setting that config option to true, the upgrade didn't break anything. 7.2.3 should be working. If it is, I'll go ahead and close my PR.

[h1orz]

Great, 7.2.3 is work.
