Unable to read config/vite.json file in Windows with Cygwin

[aslam]

• I have tried upgrading by running bundle update vite_ruby.
• I have read the troubleshooting section before opening an issue.

Description 📖

I am trying to run the Vite dev server on a Windows system with Cygwin. The issue described in npm/cmd-shim#45 is not the cause since I don't have any special characters in the path.

// package.json
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "sass": "^1.56.1",
    "vite": "^3.2.3",
    "vite-plugin-ruby": "^3.1.2"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@ant-design/icons": "^4.8.0",
    "antd": "^5.0.0",
    "axios": "^1.1.3",
    "i18n-iso-countries": "^7.5.0",
    "localforage": "^1.10.0",
    "match-sorter": "^6.3.1",
    "react": "^18.2.0",
    "react-dom": "^18.2.0",
    "react-router-dom": "^6.4.3",
    "sort-by": "^1.2.0"
  }
}

❯ node -v
v18.12.1

Reproduction 🐞

The dev server fails to start with throwing the following error:

Probably related to the use of join.

Would you try editing vite-plugin-ruby to use resolve instead of join and checking if that fixes the issue?

PRs are welcome!

I tried change all uses of join to resolve but doesn't seem to be resolving the issue.

The rabbit hole led me to setting env. variables in Cygwin:

The PATH environment variable is used by Cygwin applications as a list of directories to search for executable files to run. This environment variable is converted from Windows format (e.g. C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows) to UNIX format (e.g., /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows) when a Cygwin process first starts. Set it so that it contains at least the x:\cygwin\bin directory where "x:\cygwin is the "root" of your cygwin installation if you wish to use cygwin tools outside of bash. This is usually done by the batch file you're starting your shell with.

I don't use Windows and remote debugging, esp. with Win., in not very pleasant. Have to setup a VM with Windows to try and reproduce.

Closing for now, but if you find the cause is inside this library and not in Vite, pull requests are welcome.
