Absolute paths on Windows do not work about node-glob HOT 5 CLOSED

When I try this, I do get results, although they're a bit odd.

> glob.sync('/temp/*.txt')
[ '\\temp/1.txt' ]

The initial / is unexpectedly replaced with a \, but I do get results. Using [email protected] with Node v0.6.12 on Windows 7 64-bit.

from node-glob.

The issue here is that this line:

read = prefix = path.join("/", prefix)

On windows turns into:

read = prefix = ""

Which it then prepends onto things here:

if (prefix !== "/") e = prefix + "/" + e

The same line is causing issues for drive letters in issue 42.

I just hit this as well. I worked around it by passing in the absolute path for the cwd option, and then a relative path for the actual search term.

I had thought this was a minimatch problem, so I left a comment there outlining the inconsistencies: isaacs/minimatch#11 (comment).

For now I am doing pretty much what @springmeyer suggested, with a normalization step following to clean up the weird path separators.

Fixed in the latest release.
