* Fix path regex match bug * Use the escape-string-regexp package to escape regex characters * Remove redundant character escape from path * Add removed escape of backslashes
This change prevents Regex expression errors from being thrown when the paths passed to the function has a
++
in them.Taking a path like
some/dummy/path/with++/
the function transforms it to
some\/dummy\/path\/with++\/
the second+
is not ignored by the regex engine and hence throws anInvalid Regular Expression Error
This pull request changes the path to
some\/dummy\/path\/with\+\+\/
with all+
escaped.I noticed the bug when i tried to run
npm start
in a directory containing a+
in it's name.npm version 5.5.1
node version 8.9.3
Changing the path for the project solved the problem.
