When copying assets from .minikube/files on windows, directories get squashed during transfer. ie /etc/ssl/certs/test.pem becomes ~minikube/etcsslcerts/test.pem. This pull request ensures any window style directories are converted into unix style.

[darkedges]

review #2768 by converting \ in directory string to / and using path.Join instead of filepath.Join which uses Unix format instead of using he current OS directory delimeter.

May not be BP but it works for me.

Can you name the PR in such a way that specifically describes what this PR is doing? I'm not sure what
squashed means in this context.

I'm not yet familiar with Go on Windows, but the PR looks strange: filepath.Join works on Windows, but I'm really not sure why minikube was joining it with "/" in the first place. It seems like vmpath should instead be:

vmpath  := filepath.Abs(rPath) 

Does that achieve the expected result for you?

Does that achieve the expected result for you?

The problem is that filepath is OS specific, so a directory in windows etc\ssl\certs becomes etcsslcerts instead of etc/ssl/certs when transferred to the minkube host. All this PR does is ensure any windows style directory string is converted into unix style before being transported to the minikube host. Without this files are not transferred to the correct location on the minikube host.
