Testacular fails to launch on Windows: Cannot call method 'isDirectory' of undefined

[bitwiseman]

An update that occured today to one of the dependencies of testacular has caused testacular@canary it start failing on windows.

Repro:

• remove testacular
• npm install testacular@canary
• Start a testacular single-run on Windows

Expected:
Successful run

Actual:
Run fails immediately after browser launch

info (launcher): Starting browser IE
error: TypeError: Cannot call method 'isDirectory' of undefined

Reviewing the dependencies that had changed today shows only glob, rimraf, or (transitively) graceful-fs.

Workaround:
Forcing glob 3.1.17 and rimraf 2.1.2 avoids this issue.

https://github.com/testacular/testacular/commit/36e87d802b266b19423cd520f19c305856129842 addresses this issue but that change is not available even in canary release.

Suggest release of next canary build as soon as possible.

This is a bug in glob@3.1.18. I've added an issue: isaacs/node-glob#53

Does updating to the latest rimraf cause issues as well ?

Anyway, testacular dependencies are frozen for now, we gonna update them manually.

I just pushed canary release to npm.

With the new canary release everything appears to work as expected for me. Thanks @vojtajina

[bitwiseman]

I didn't test rimraf specifically, sorry. Time constraints. Thanks for push a new canary release.

So, it was Windows only issue, right ? Fixed glob 3.1.19 should be out, can you guys try it out, if it's fixed ? So that we can update dependencies to latest glob ?

[kimjoar]

@vojtajina Yeah, this was Windows only. glob created paths which did not exist on Windows. For me glob@3.1.20 works beautifully on Windows.
