Windows File Paths don't work in Input

[attapurposevc]

Hi everyone,

I'm having issues using windows file paths such as C:\Users\aUser\AppData\Local\Temp\stuff.html

The script fails silently and doesn't load anything in the pdf

If you're still having trouble please list the full command you're running and attach a sample html file.

I fixed it on my end. This was my hack if you are interested:
const htmlFileURL = (process.platform == 'win32') ? `file:\\/\\/${htmlFile.replace(/\\/g,"\\/")}` : htmlFile;

Basically, if it's on windows, the url parsing module assumes that your drive i.e. C:// is the protocol.

Thanks, that's interesting. I'll leave this issue open. Feel free to submit a PR if you'd like.

This was confusing the hell out of me for too long. TY!
