Path#expand
andFile.expand_path
are currently hardcoded to traverse from the home directory only for paths starting with~/
, but~\
should be valid for Windows paths, and Powershell for example does support~\
. This PR adds it.The construction
File.expand_path(File.join("~", "a"), home: true)
now produces a subdirectory of the home directory, and works on both POSIX and Windows paths.
