quarto publish connect from windows corrupts path delimiters in the bundle tar.gz

[eugen-lounkine-bms]

Bug description

I am trying to get a blog hosted on Post Connect. I write it locally on my windows machine, with a local python environment, coding in VS Code, and using Git Bash as my terminal (I did try with windows cmd, and it has the same behavior as Git Bash);

When I do so with quarto publish connect, it creates the bundle, uploads it, and hosts the content, but it has a bug during bundle creation: relative paths (local folders) are not represented as folders in the bundle tar.gz;
This makes only the main index.html accessible on Posit Connect, without any of the blog posts (they are in a subfolder).
The path delimiters are replaced with a \uf05c character.

Steps to reproduce

Shift+Ctrl+P -> Create new quarto Project -> Blog

This creates the default blog setup

Expected behavior

After I quarto publish connect, the blog should render correctly on posit.

Actual behavior

The blog lacks styles, and the links to the posts do not work.
The bundle has replaced path delimiter (\ on windows, should be / in the bundle) with a \uf05c character.

bundle-41602.tar.gz

Your environment

• OS: Win10
• IDE: VSCode
• language: Python
• terminal: Git Bash and CMD have same behavior

[cderv]

Definitely an issue in the way the tar.gz bundle is created. Folder are clearly omitted because of a path transformation problem

I'll investigate this

This will be fixed in 1.4 next patch release and in so in 1.5 pre-release.

Thanks for the report
