Unable to load file on Windows

[jindrazak]

I am facing trouble exporting svg to png on Windows.

• Windows 10
• Node v12.13.1
• [email protected]

Way to reproduce:

Powershell:

> npm i svgexport -g
... OK
> svgexport.cmd .\inputimage.svg outputimage.png
Error: Unable to load file (Error: net::ERR_INVALID_URL at file://C:%5CUsers%5Cjindr%5Cinputimage.svg): C:\Users\jindr\inputimage.svg

I have the same issue. Works with 0.3.2, stopped working with 0.4.0.

The problem is here: https://github.com/shakiba/svgexport/blob/master/render.js#L30

On Windows, svgfile will be something like C:\users\...., so the URL that gets created is file://C:\users\..., but it should be file:///C:/users/ (three forward slashes, backslashes replaced by forward slashes although I'm not certain the latter is needed).

Yes, I have already prepared a fix for Windows. There is still another Windows bug to be fixed, once this is done we can release a new version.

@MichaelHeerklotz , any chance to make the latest version work on Windows soon? :)

[MichaelRoosz]

@roman-petrov I am aiming for a release this week. Sorry for taking so long.

@MichaelHeerklotz , sounds great! Thank you!

I have the same problem
where can I find the latest version

[ctch3ng]

For Windows users, in %AppData%\npm\node_modules\svgexport\render.js

Change the line

await page.goto('file://' + encodeURI(svgfile))

into

await page.goto('file:///' + encodeURI(svgfile).replace(new RegExp(/%5C/g),"/"))

@ctch3ng Wouldn't it be better to apply a pull request?

Submitted #83. Resolved issues on Windows for me. Haven't tested on other systems.
