Unable to create a class under windows (Path.sep replace issue) about csharpextensions

[jchannon]

Time to get @Yantrio mystery magical regex machine out ;)

[jchannon]

I have this regex which works in a debugger but blows up in node for some reason. Won't have any time to fix today 😢

> '/Users/jc/projects/nancy/src/fred/poo/'.replace(new RegExp('\/|\\', 'g'), '.');
SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: //|\/: \ at end of pattern

[jchannon]

I think I have it

'asd\\asd\\asd\\asd'.replace(new RegExp('\/|\\\\', 'g'), '.');

'/Users/jc/projects/nancy/src/fred/poo/'.replace(new RegExp('\/|\\\\', 'g'), '.');

Bugger fails on windows

SUCH REGEX 
    MUCH PLATFORMS
  VERY VARIATIONS
AMAZE

Looking into this, I also realize that this isn't the least of our problems under Windows.

We also have this line:

var newroot = parentdir.substr(parentdir.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);

In my case, I have parentdir set to "c:\\Users\\shrayasr\\work\\code\\ixm\\src\\ixm". Now consider a unix env, parentdir would be /users/shrayasr/work/code/ixm/src/ixm. newroot is set differently on both platforms because of the char we use to substring

REPL output:

> var parentdir = "/users/shrayasr/work/code/ixm/src/ixm"
> var newroot = parentdir.substr(parentdir.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
> newroot
'ixm'
> var parentdir = "c:\\Users\\shrayasr\\work\\code\\ixm\\src\\ixm"
> var newroot = parentdir.substr(parentdir.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
> newroot
'c:\\Users\\shrayasr\\work\\code\\ixm\\src\\ixm'

with newroot being set this way, it doesn't matter if we fix anything below it, the namespace will not be right. Manually continuing leaves me with this namespace:

"c:.Users.shrayasr.work.code.ixm.src.ixm.Controllers"

hehe. Thoughts?

[jchannon]

yeah i spotted that too :)

Taken an initial whack in the PR. Do give it a glance. Works for me now 👍
