On Windows invalid css path is generated

[evilbloodydemon]

css-sprite uses path.join to make css path, and on windows path.join uses backslash so result is invalid, something like:
background-image: url('\img\sprite.png');

There's a workaround for this issue, not too stylish, though working for me (I use SCSS):
in css-sprite\lib\templates\sprite.js:

Original text:

// Render and return CSS
var css = mustache.render(tmpl[options.processor], tmplParams);

replace with:
var css = mustache.render(tmpl[options.processor], tmplParams).replace(//g, '/');

It changes all '' into '/' in output. It's OK for scss syntax, though I do not know if '' char is used in other syntaxes. Anyway best wishes to everyone and billions of thanks to authors.

This issue is still valid with 0.9.0-beta2

I fixed this 😕 #29

[DenysVuika]

I am generating plain css via gulp (however issue occurs even from command line) with the following options:
name: 'somename',
cssPath: '../img',
prefix: 'icon-test'
The resulting css always contains the following at the beginning (for Windows):
.icon-test {
background-image: url('..\img\somename.png');
}

Adams fix is not released yet. Till the release you could use the git master instead of 0.9.0-beta2. In your package.json use:

"dependencies": {
"css-sprite": "aslansky/css-sprite"
}

That makes sense now. Thanks.
