Inconsistent drive letter case for Windows about runner-images HOT 6 CLOSED

If you open any of logs mentioned before. Then check step “Run actions/checkout@v1”. It will has something like:

Initialized empty Git repository in D:/a/stylelint/stylelint/.git/

Sometimes drive letter is lowercased.

It's a drive letter from the environment that Actions created.

from runner-images.

Current workaround we use:

cd .. && cd D:\a\stylelint\stylelint

Before running Node.js scripts.

@hudochenkov It's not clear to me where the drive letter is coming from. Is the output from a script on the machine or your code?

from runner-images.

@hudochenkov This is fixed, should all be lower-case now. However, we don't make any guarantees for the casing in Windows path so it's probably a good idea to make your check more resilient in the Windows case?

It's great to hear! But why it was decided to use lower-case over upper-case? Upper-case is the most common on Windows.

Also it might create more problem for Node.js tools, because of Node.js behavior. I understand that Node.js behavior out-of-scope for this repository. It's just a note keep in mind.

There is one odd thing with having lower-cased d:. I just restarted failed build, so new environment probably has fix, @alepauly mentioned, in place. And this environment has two drives: C: (uppercased) and d: (lowercased). This was also happening before the fix.

Here's the build: https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/pull/4372/checks?check_run_id=272347026
